Earlier we mentioned that the iPhone update was going to be released tomorrow (spokeswoman for wireless carrier 02 said it would be Saturday) . It was released just a little while ago, and it is now recommended that all iPhone users update. This update just fixes the SMS vulnerability.

Last night the official Firefox download counter reached 1Billion. It has only taken 5 years to accomplish the 1 billionth download.

Shannon Prior said on The Mozzila Blog “This is a monumental event – Firefox has come a long way since its debut in November 2004, thanks to the amazing Firefox community. Volunteers from all over the world contribute to the coding, testing and spreading of Firefox to communities across the globe. Firefox 3.5 shipped in 75 languages – more than any other browser.”

Be sure to check out www.onebillionplusyou.com this Monday to read more about this event.

Continuing the recent trend of minor updates on Thursdays, Cupertino has upgraded its own hybrid wireless router/external hard drive doubling the capacity to 1TB & 2TB respectively. Also keeping with recent tradition, Apple has kept the price points the same as the similar generation meaning that the 1TB is available for $299 and the 2TB model for $499.

iDisk was posted July 27, 2009 and it already has 169+ ratings with the total rating of 4.5/5 (viewable on iPhone, doesn’t show the same on iTunes). This is a huge outbreak in downloads, but of course it is Apple no surprise there.

What is MobileMe iDisk?

iDisk is a way for you to log into your MobileMe account to view and share files (on iDisk) directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch.  It has the legendary Apple touch, with of course an easy to use interface.

Is is worth the space?

Yes, completely (if you have MobileMe) you should get this. And if you don’t like it, no worries It’s FREE! We use it to clean up the iDisk (you can delete files on iDisk as well) when it is needed. Overall, it is great so go download it!

Twitter has recently undergone a facelift. The home page of Twitter is better than ever and focusing on search over joining.  As shown in the image below, the old style was much more focused on getting people to join just like Facebook is now.

This move has pushed them into the ’search’ stage. Above the search bar is says “see what people are saying about…” giving people an easy way to look for anything. If you type in Apple, you will see what people are tweeting about Apple, you search Google, you will see what people are saying about Google (now you will see much about Google and the iPhone).

Also, with the new look they have uncluttered. It is much more open and simple (good for Apple fans!!).

Rumor has it that Hon Hai Precision Industry is going to be assembling Apples “Tablet” with the highly rumored 10 inch screen from WinTek. Along with the screen the battery is said to be from Dynapack.

When you ask? Well, some believe not until early 2010. The Paper said it will be September or October. [Gizmodo] [AppleInsider]
