Apple Gets Busy

Hi everybody, my name is iDillon, aka Dillon Connolly, and I'm a new blog writer for David.

So today Apple released a new version of the iPhone/iPod Touch firmware, v2.2.1. This upgrade just fixes some bugs, such as:

• Safari Instability
• Fixed bug where images downloaded from Mail wouldn't display properly
• Fixed bug where Apple Lossless (ALAC) files would skip during playback

The iPhone baseband also got updated, now at 2.30.03.

Frankly I am surprised it took Apple this long to fix these bugs, because my iPod Touch has been glitching and messing up a lot since the 2.2 update came out.

Also, in related news, Apple has removed the Digital Rights Management from all the songs in the iTunes store. So now we can transfer, burn, and copy any song that we get from the iTunes store, without compromising quality or breaking copyright, which is a big help for people who make mix CD's for gifts or have multiple iPods running with a single iTunes account.

If only they made the upgrade to iTunes Plus free as well.

It’s also easy to upgrade your iTunes library to iTunes Plus. You don’t have to buy the song or albumagain. Just pay the 30¢ per song upgrade price. (Music video upgrades are 60¢ and entire albums can be upgraded for 30 percent of the albumprice.)

Come on Apple, you were going so far! Well, they removed DRM after so long that we can only hope that iTunes Plus becomes free sometime soon!
