Just one week later, Apple said that iPad gestures wouldn't make the cut, and indeed, iOS 4.3 was summarily released without gestures for the iPad and recently-released iPad 2. Don't despair, however: they can ...

Slingplayer Mobile for iPhone and iPod touch has reached version 2.0 today, and with it come a couple of features that had previously been seen only in the iPad app: high(er) quality video is in, as is a revamped program guide.

I remember when you could use Skype on your iPhone, but it couldn't run in the background, which made it useless for taking incoming calls. Well, that was yesterday. In the brave new multitasking world of iOS 4, the latest version of Skype can now run in the background, and incoming calls are no problem.

Apple's iOS 4.0.1 has arrived -- along with 3.2.1 for iPads -- and the big buzz is about a change in the way "bars" of signal strength are displayed. iOS 4.0.1 "Improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display," but the 378MB update doesn't have any other specific info in the release notes. Apart from changing how many bars to show, Apple has also messed with ...
