Apple releases iPhone and iPod touch Software 1.1.4 today.
The iPhone Software 1.1.4 weighs in on 162.1MB, exactly the same with iPhone Software 1.1.3 file size.
I’m updating my iPhone right now. I don’t have an iPod touch, so Apple, please send me one. :-p
to be continued.
Pixelmator 1.1.3 is released today. The release notes can be found here: http://www.pixelmator.com/support/updates/
Pixelmator is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop at a low-low-price. Pixelmator is priced at a mere $59 and available as trial. Head to Pixelmator.com for more informations.
I launched Pixelmator today, and it notified me that there’s an update available. I told it to download the update, and it did. After it finished downloading, it prompted me to update and relaunch the apps. So I did. For some reasons, the update failed and rendered the apps unusable. I downloaded the latest version off Pixelmator web-site and replace the apps in my Applications folder. I noticed earlier that the release notes said that Pixelmator 1.1.2 is dated January 22, 2008. Interesting since I previously I downloaded Pixelmator sometimes in February. Anyway, the release notes can be found here: http://www.pixelmator.com/support/updates/
