This week in Apple: iTunes Plus upgrades, multitouch patents, iPhone 2.2.1

Sat, Jan 31st, 2009

Even though all Apple-related content now lives under Infinite Loop in our new site design (no more "front page" and Infinite Loop split!), we know that not everyone reads every single post that pops up. Here, we'll highlight the most popular Apple-related stories for the week for you to catch up on in case you missed them.

iPhone 2.2.1 offers improved Safari stability, Camera Roll fix: Apple's just-released iPhone 2.2.1 update doesn't fix a lot, but what it does fix is at least somewhat handy. Mobile Safari and the Camera Roll both get a little bit of love.

iTunes Plus drops all-or-nothing upgrades, goes a la carte: iTunes users who want to upgrade their DRMed library to iTunes Plus can now do so on a song-by-song or album-by-album basis. Apple has dropped its restriction that forced users to upgrade their entire libraries at once, but if you're feeling lazy, you might still want to hold off.

A quick look at VirtualBox 2.1 for Mac OS X: Parallels and VMware are the two top contenders in the Mac virtualization game, but there's another virtualization package that you should know about: VirtualBox. Put out by Sun, VirtualBox is free, and in today's world that means something. So we took VirtualBox for a spin, to see how it stacks up against the non-free competition.

Our system thought this story was mainly about: Iphone, Mobile Safari, Infinite Loop
