iPad pre-orders
With the iPad pre-ordering due to start at some time on Monday, a lot of people are going to be interested in getting in early because demand may indeed outstrip supply.
A FREE iphone app, iChanged Lite can be used to send you a notification message as soon as the iPad UK page changes to prompt you to get in there to order it quickly.
1) Simple download from iTunes at itms://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=367239029&mt=8
2) Add the URL http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/
3) Close the app and wait to hear from the app via Push Notification
Enjoy!!
Iphone OS4
So today we find out if multi-tasking has finally made its way officially into the IPhone without need to jailbreak. Of course, this will be way more geared to IPad imo.

Iphone apps
Unless you have been living underneath a rock, you will have heard, used or own an iPhone with it's v2 OS.
There are the entertaining attributes such as pint pouring simulators and touchscreen games but the thing that is openng my eyes very quickly is the concept of creating bespoke applications for iPhone users that would have been up for web 2.0-ing. I can envisage that over the next 6 months there will be a surge of shopping "helper" or price comparisons that utilize the iPhone's interface.
Maybe I'll write the first! Watch this space.
