iOS 4.3.1 logo

Apple has pushed out iOS 4.3.2 for iPhone 4 owners (Verizon iPhone 4 owners are getting 4.2.7). This is just a bug fix and security update. Those of you who want to jailbreak their devices, should again stay away until there is a working jailbreak!

Changes include:

  1. Fixes an issue that occasionally caused blank or frozen video during a FaceTime call

  3. Contains the latest security updates

 


The Bing for iPad app does Bing better than bing.com. Bing launched their new iOS search app free in the iTunes app store. Bing for iPad takes all the features of the Bing search engine and elegantly integrates them into the iPad user experience, changing the way you browse results to better fit with a touch experience. From searching for information, to finding weather reports, to checking traffic, to browsing images in a variety of ways, Bing keeps you in an iPad-optimized experience throughout each search session. While Google simply shows you results exactly as they do on your desktop, Bing takes search on tablets a step further to provide a truly enriched search experience.

Unfortunately, this is currently only available for U.S. residents.


Newest reports tell that iOS 5 has been delayed till a fall release. We’ll most probably see the new OS announced at WWDC, June 5-9th, pushing the release date back by a few months. Could this be the first time that the next-gen iPhone will be released outside of the usual June/July timeframe?

WWDC ’11 will have a strong focus on the Cloud. Here’s what is so far rumored about WWDC and iOS 5:

  • iOS 5 is said to be a major revamp of the platform
  • The new iOS could well be previewed at WWDC, but won’t be released then
  • A new type of iPad may be released alongside the iOS 5
  • iOS 5 will be all about the cloud, with Apple launching new services to support it
  • A new “music locker” service may be unveiled during Apple’s annual music-themed event
  • Another service may deal with location, helping people find friends and family members
  • WWDC, taking place in June, will be all about the cloud, preparing developers for the upcoming wave of connected apps
  • OS X Lion, which should be released during the summer, may easily incorporate some of the cloud components
