Apologies and news round-up
First of all apologies for being slack on the posting in the last week - I’ve been knee-deep in mud at the V Festival, where anecdotally I’d like to point out I managed to squeeze 4 full days of battery life on my iPhone 3G, albeit through judicious switching-off of 3G, wifi, and a bunch of other things, including the phone itself in the latter couple of days apart from when trying to track friends. Anyhow, I digress.
There’s been a few bits and pieces to catch up on for UK Apple followers, so in no particular order:
iPhone/iPod touch 2.0.2 update available in iTunes
The headline does what is says on the tin. Fire up iTunes, plug in your iPhone or iPod touch of choice, and enjoy bug fixes, plus a possible fix for an apparent problem with calls cutting out on the iPhone 3G.
MobileMe trials extended again from an apologetic Apple
Apologies clearly being the theme for this post, Apple has sent grovelling emails to a host of MobileMe subscribers keeping them on-board with updates on what they’re doing to iron out the bugs in the service. They’re also chucking in another extra 60 days free of charge for early adopters.
Tate Liverpool offers something extra for iPhone & iPod touch users
If you’re heading to the Tate Liverpool to check out the Gustav Klimt exhibition, our friends over at The Unoffical Apple Weblog noticed you can get your art on with added iPhone/iPod touch grooviness as you walk around with a guided tour pushed out over the gallery’s wifi network. If you prefer to have some advanced notice of what your tour will sound like, you can pick it up as a podcast to preload onto your device, and if you’re not yet in the Apple touchscreen club, you can even hire an iPod touch at the venue to take round with you. Sweet.
