iBooks v1.1 is out!!
With the advent of iOS 4.0, Apple just released iBooks 1.1 and my my, the best reader app just got better! Featuring syncing of places, bookmarks, notes between devices. This is HUGE! It works seamlessly – any changes made on your iPhone, or your iPad are immediately synced to your iTunes account OTA (over the air), and the next time you open the iBooks app in iPad or iPhone, you can see the changes reflected from the other device, as well as continue from where you left off. Flawless implementation, and my hat is off to the iBooks team.
Wowza, Calendar and Notes syncing with Google on iOS 4.0
iOS 4.0 is almost upon us, and with the plethora of features implemented, including multi-tasking (which works according to the Apple definition of multi-tasking), folders, and a shiny new UI, there is an easter egg that I knew nothing about, till I set out to include my GMail account. The biggest surprise was inclusion of native syncing with Google Calendar and Notes in iOS! Yeah you read it right. iOS now natively syncs with Google Calendar and creates a Label in your GMail account called Notes – wherein it places all notes created in the Notes app on the iPhone. Simply marvelous!
