If you have an iPhone you probably have iOS 4, here is a guide to the features in iOS 4. Please remember that most of the features apply to only the 3GS or iPhone 4 not the iPhone 3G. I am only going to cover features that are new or changed in iOS 4.

Today Apple released an update for iTunes which brings us to version 9.2.1. The update included a bunch of bug fixes and no exciting new features.

Yep the anticipated fix for signal issues on the iPhone 4 has been released today for the iPhone 4. All you need to do is hook your iPhone up to iTunes and download it.

If you downloaded it already, please let us know if you still are experiencing call drops, and reception issues.

Over the weekend many users found that their iTunes accounts had been used to purchase items without their knowledge. The items that were purchased were from a developer named Thuat Nguyen and were books published by him.

Apple told Engadget that they removed him from the Apple Store and that users should check thier accounts for fraudulent activity:

The developer Thuat Nguyen and his apps were removed from the App Store for violating the developer Program License Agreement, including fraudulent purchase patterns.

Developers do not receive any iTunes confidential customer data when an app is downloaded.

If your credit card or iTunes password is stolen and used on iTunes we recommend that you contact your financial institution and inquire about canceling the card and issuing a chargeback for any unauthorized transactions. We also recommend that you change your iTunes account password immediately.

Well, iOS 4 was indeed released today, but many users are reporting being stuck at the backup stage on their device. So, if you have not started the install of iOS 4 yet, I would hold off and see if Apple has anything to say about this. It seems that the backup that the update performs before the update is crawling incredibly slow for some reason. Example below:

Are you sick and tired of mosquitoes, I know I am. With the ‘Cool! Mosquitoes’ app from Colorme you can defeat those pesky mosquitoes right on your iPhone. The Mosquitoes game features many different levels and difficulties and a few different weapons of choice depending on progress throughout the game.

A fun feature of ‘Cool! Mosquitoes’ is that you actually play the game with the iPhone camera active, so whatever you are pointing your phone at, that is the playing field. Powerups spawn randomly during gameplay that help reach the goal before time expires. These powerups include a bomb to destroy many mosquitoes at once, lightning to fry those pesky mosquitoes, a clock to add more time, and an ice cube to freeze and kill the mosquitoes.
