We’ve already mentioned iTunes 9.1 and iPhoto 8.1.2, but yesterday and today Apple also released Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3, VoiceOver Kit for iPod 1.3, and iPhone Configuration Utility 2.2.

For Mac and traditional iPod users, these will get you the latest, greatest bug fixes and software updates (with perhaps some iPad compatibility thrown into the former). For Enterprise IT admins, the iPhone Configuration Utility will now let you manage iPads as well as iPhones.

If you update any of the above, let us know how they work for you.

Canadian iPad Launching April 24, International and 3G Version Too?

iPadinCanada.ca claims they’ve heard from a source with “close ties to the Apple Store” that the weekend of April 24 has been marked as a “black out” period, which means no vacations, which means they think iPad launch day in the Great White North.

Since the iPad is set to launch in several other countries, including the UK in “late April”, and the iPad 3G is also set to launch in “late April”, we’re taking only one tiny little step to the conclusion that maybe April 24 will be all those launch days as well.

Sounds reasonable, n’est ce pas?

Apple Store Employees Kept in Dark Regarding New Products

Posted on by Jeremy Sikora.
Categories: Uncategorized.

att_iPad

It’s not surprise that Apple likes to keep things top secret when it comes to their new products not only from all of us but also from their very own employees as Reuters has just found out by interviewing current and past Apple Store employees.

“We haven’t seen it; we never do” before a product is launched, said one employee, who asked not to be identified because workers are barred from speaking with the media. “Every store employee I know, including the managers, they haven’t seen it.”

Now we understand why Apple is this strict when it comes to their new product launches – to avoid leaks. But there is a flip side to that coin as even Apple Store Geniuses are clueless as to how to fix the product let alone get their hands on it until the day of it’s release. Apple has reportedly even gone as far as having store managers guard pallets of new products the night prior to launch day.

So if you happen to go into your local Apple Store and start asking questions about a soon to be released product and you are not getting the answers you are seeking, cut the employee some slack as they truly are kept in the dark and more than likely don’t know much more than you. In fact, sometimes you are better off visiting our forums for more information. ;)

Search and ShareApple seems to really be embracing social media these days. Their latest effort? Facebook. You can now browse the App Store directly from within Facebook via Apple’s newest Facebook application. There are a few tabs to chose from; the proverbial Wall and Info, but then it starts to get interesting. You have a Featured tab that shows you this weeks currently featured applications. Games, so you can filter by any game genre and Search and Share. From here, you can search for any application. Once you find the application you are looking for, You can get the app (launched via iTunes and the iTunes web page) and post it to your profile. The later is what I am excited about because now I can share with my friends what my most recent favorite app is.

Virtue as partnered with Apple to create this page hot on the heels of their other Facebook page for iTunes. Check for some more screenshots after the break!
