Apple investigating issues with iOS 4 upgrade on iPhone 3G

Back when we outlined the iOS 4 features missing from iPhone 3G, we forgot one key bullet point: performance. As more and more two-year veterans of Apple's phones have taken the plunge and upgraded to the latest firmware, slowdown and battery drain issues have become a common complaint, which is even more irksome when you think of just how little the update really adds to the UI. The Wall Street Journal reports speaking to an Apple spokesperson who said the company is looking into the matter. That doesn't necessarily mean a fix is coming anytime soon, but hey, at least you can hold the darn thing however you want.

Apple launches Magic TrackPad [Multitouch]

Apple desktops now have touchpads too. The new Magic Trackpad from Apple brings the Macbook Pro features to  Mac Pro and iMac owners like multitouch, gestures, over bluetooth.
Basically, Magic Trackpad is a MacBook Pro touchpad on steriods. With 80% more surface area for all those nasty gestures, it’s  a possible mouse replacement that itself acts like a one big button. Some of the popular gestures would include: two-finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, fingertip rotation, and three- and four-finger swipes, all of which can be enabled or disabled in Preferences.

 

Wireless

The bluetooth functionality allows you to operate the it from up to 33 feet away.
Magic Trackpad runs on two AA battteries, which comes with six AA batteries accompanied with charger, which Apple claims to be the Greenest Charger. The AA batteries that ship along with are designed to last for hundreds of charges.
Suits your Design
The Magic Trackpad gives you the same feel as of Apple’s wireless keyboard — same design and angles as Apple’s wireless keyboard.

Magic TrackPad Pricing
It’s available now at $69, worth the price, provided you appreciate the value it adds.
