Apple [AAPL] has just launched a new application for the iPhone called Apple Store. It’s a VERY simple idea that brings the online Apple Store to the iPhone in the shape of an application.
To run the application you just need to be on iOS 3 or above meaning it will work now. It currently is restricted to those in the US from what we understand.
The application lets you browse through the Apple product catalog, pre-order, order and check reviews. Other features include the ability to check where local stores are. [Read more…]

Yesterday some leaked screen shots made their way around the internet from a Vodafone test site which showed the iPhone 4 tariffs in the UK. We now see that the phone could actually be more expensive if the 3GS prices are followed. If what we hear is correct then we have been told the pricing will match the 3GS pricing with the 1GB data limit also.
The Apple store might be down and not allowing pre-orders of the iPhone 4 in the UK, but if you head on over to the online retail store you can reserve an iPhone over there for collection.

Finally, Google Earth is now available for download on the iPad. The new app works very similar to how the iPhone version works but with the iPad having a larger screen it makes the experience far better… well, at least the idea is better as we actually found it to be a little buggy and slow.
Amazon has launched new firmware for the Amazon Kindle. The new version is 2.5 and brings a few new features to the eBook reader. The update has passed through the final stages of testing and is now being pushed out to Kindle owners over the next few weeks. Amazon suggest you just keep your wireless connection switched on to automatically receive it.
We are not 100% convinced this is actual game play on the new Microsoft XBox 360 Kinect. The demo shown on video is for Starwars and it shows a demo of the game running with a guy supposedly controlling it through the new XBox 360 Kinect (previously known as Project Natal).
