Apple just released the final version of iTunes 10.1 for both Windows and Mac. This version of iTunes will be required to install iOS 4.2 (when released) on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Twitter recently came forward and officially announced that the micro-blogging service has begun a networking partnership with Apple’s Ping music service. This makes it easier than ever for those who are using the service to share the music they are listening to, what they like, or what they have reviewed while using the service. Although it seems like a dream to those who wanted to share their favorite music with everyone they know, it may be a bit more streamline than they might like it to be.

The new service has kicked off recently and with it, you’ll be able to link your Twitter account More >

The company isn’t sharing exact numbers, but they did just tell me that their download numbers for their first weekend on the store were well over 300,000. At $2.99 a pop, that works out to one More >

Rumors have circulated for some time that Apple will increase the length of music previews.

It wasn’t a perfect solution to flash on the iPhone, but it did give people access to a fairly large number of Flash videos on the web. Unfortunately, Skyfire removed the app voluntarily soon after it was released.

In just it’s first five hours of it’s initial release, the app did amazingly well. More >
