iOS 4.3 Is Now Available.

Apple has released iOS 4.3 two days ahead of its scheduled release date.

iOS 4.3 build 8F190  is available for:

  • iPad
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod touch 4th Generation
  • iPod touch 3rd Generation

iOS 4.3  build 8F191m is available for

iOS 4.3 for Apple TV is also known as Apple TV Software 4.2.

iOS 4.3 on Wednesday?

Reports abuzz that iOS 4.3 was to be released on Wednesday March 9th, 2011. Boy Genius Report hastily reported that iOS 4.3 would see the release today (Tuesday March 8th, 2011); they totally missed the mark.

Why would Apple would release iOS 4.3 earlier than the promised date which is March 11th, 2011.

Apple can avoid server slowdown by releasing iOS 4.3 days before the iPad 2 goes on sale.

Personally I don’t think Apple would release iOS 4.3 on Wednesday.

Apple Seeds iOS 4.3 GM to Developers.

Reports are coming in that Apple is seeding iOS 4.3 GM to developers one week ahead of its March 11, 2011 release date. Historically, the GM build would become the public release version.

iOS 4.3 is available for:

  • iPad
  • iPhone 4 (GSM)
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod touch 4th Gen
  • iPod touch 3rd Gen

iOS 4.3 will be available for download for free on March 11th, 2011.

iPad 2 and iOS 4.3 Are Coming March 11, 2011.

Apple unveils iPad 2 and set March 11, 2011 as the release date. 1GHz Dual Core A5 Processor, front and rear camera, 1080p HDMI support, comes in black and white. Yes white model, unlike the ever-promised white iPhone 4.

iOS 4.3 will see the light of day presumably when iPad 2 ships. Developers should be getting the GM build pretty soon.

This is a short post. Will be back for the link for the Video from the event.

Sources Say That New Apple Product Will Be Available For Order Today.

A short message from a source who insisted on anonymity and is not Phil Schiller, a new Apple product will be available for order at the Apple Store today. Could the new iPad be available for order today? Is it possible for the new iPad to be available at Apple Store today? It could be something that has almost been forgotten (hint, hint!).

Head to Apple Online Store after the iPad Special Event wrapped.

By the way, Apple Online Store is closed for maintenance.

Apple March 2nd iPad Event Live Coverage Links.

Apple is holding a special event at Yerba Buena Center For The Arts on Wednesday on March 2nd, 2011. Apple is hinting that the event is iPad related. As usual, numbers of sites, journalists and bloggers will be providing live coverage from the event.

Links will be added as they are made available. Links are alphabetically ordered.

The “maybe providing coverage” list:

Meta-coverage by TWiT.tv.

I wonder if John Gruber would spend his Daring Fireball money to fly out to San Francisco for this event?

It would be another big surprise if Apple is streaming the event live on Apple.com.

Live coverage will definitely stars shortly on March 2nd, 2010 before:

  • 08:00 AM – Hawaii
  • 10:00 AM – Pacific
  • 11:00 AM – Mountain
  • 12:00 PM – Central
  • 01:00 PM – Eastern
