What do you expect to see at Apple’s special music event on Sept 1?
Aug 26th
Steve Jobs is once again about to set sneaker to stage for the iOS-packed annual special music event, and expectations are running the gamut from iPod touch 4 with Retina Display and FaceTime to a tiny touch iPod nano to an all new Apple iTV, from iOS 4.1 for iPhone to iOS 4.x for iPad, from a new iLife to iTunes X, from $0.99 TV rentals to full on iTunes.com streaming.
We won’t get everything we want, and we may get “one more thing” we didn’t expect, but take your best guess in the poll above and hedge in the comments below.
We’re less than a week away!

Apple holding special event September 1, 2010
Aug 25th
Apple has just started sending out invitations for a special event — it’s annual special music event typically involving iTunes and iPads — on September 1, 2010.
A new iPod touch 4 (with FaceTime and Retina Display?) is a given, as is iOS 4.1 — perhaps with some new, previously unseen features? — and maybe new versions of Apple TV/iTV (for $99 running iOS and TV rentals?), iTunes (with some cloud streaming services?), and iLife (with an HTML5 content creation app?)? What about iOS 4.x for iPad and news on white iPhones?!
What does the Apple-fied guitar above say to you? Start the predictions below!

Google updates Finance web app, adds Google Voice calls to Gmail
Aug 25th
Google has a nifty update ready for users of their Finance web app, and while it won’t work on iOS (of course), we’re sure many in the US will appreciate the new Google Voice integration with Gmail as well. Here’s the low down on Google Finance Mobile:
We heard your feedback and are please to announce we’ve launched the new Android/iPhone edition of Google Finance for mobile! The markets don’t stop when you leave your desk, so we’re bringing the markets to you. Our new design gives you a unified experience across desktop and Android or iPhone phones, offering nearly all the same features and functionality on both. You can easily access the new site when you do a Google search for stock tickers or company names on your mobile device, or when you tap the “Finance” tab on the Google mobile homepage.
For more on the new Google Voice in Gmail, we refer you to the video… after the break.

Apple testing iOS 4.1 on iPod touch 4, iPad 2, and mystery device?
Aug 19th
AppleInsider, quoting “people familiar with the matter” says iOS 4.1 is currently being tested by Apple not only on iPhone 4 (currently available to developers) but the upcoming iPod touch 4 refresh, iPad 2, and an unknown mystery device.
iPod touch 4 is pretty much a no-brainer at this point. For the last 3 years Apple has shipped a new iPod touch in the fall along with an x.1 software update, so we’ll consider that a done deal. The iPod 4,1 hardware designation means it will also once again be a major update. Retina display and dual cameras would certainly qualify.
As to iPad 2, also a major update if iProd 2,1 is the proper designator, that might get a camera as well come next spring. However, since Apple hasn’t even introduced an iOS 4.x beta for the current generation iPad, it’s harder to predict what the iOS 4.x situation will be by then. 4.2 to mirror 3.2 last year?
As to the mystery device, that might just be the iOS Apple TV/iTV we keep hearing about.
Hopefully we’ll find out more at Apple traditional fall special music event for iPod and iTunes in the next month or so, but let us know your best guesses below!

iOS used by 100% of multi-platform developers on Millenial network
Aug 19th
Millennial Media’s July Mobile Mix report shows that while iOS is still dominant, Android is coming on like a freight train. Millenial’s stats are also one of the few ways to see what’s trending outside the increasingly closed worlds of Google- and Apple-assimilated and controlled ad networks. Here’s the breakdown:
- iOS was the platform utilized 100% of the time by multi-platform developers on Millenial’s network. Android was second with 75% and RIM in the third position with nearly half developing for their platform.
- iOS remained the leading OS on our Millenial’s network in July with a 55% share of impressions.
- Apple ad requests are up 24% month-over-month, 15% since January.
- iPad ad requests grew 327% month-over-month.
- Android OS grew another 47% month-over-month. Since January, Android has grown 690%. Android also officially became the number two OS on the Millennial network (surpassing RIM)
One more chart after the break…

Facebook 3.2 brings Places to iPhone
Aug 19th
Facebook’s iPhone app has been updated to version 3.2 and, among other things, brings support for the new Places service that lets you see where your friends are and what location-based social activities they’re up to. (At least in the US, when I tried it it said it wasn’t yet available in my region.)
What else is new?
- You can set the privacy of individual status updates.
- See all recipients of inbox messages.
- (iOS 4) Upload photos and videos in the background.
- Fixed a delay when commenting on a post or posting a status update.
- Fixed some Notes display bugs.
- Fixed some reliability bugs in News Feed.
Places will also offer integration with existing location-based apps like Gowalla.
If you’ve tried it out, let us know how Facebook places is working for you on your iPhone…
