Game Center… It is almost time!
Game Center – I’d get used to hearing those 2 words as this is undoubtedly one of the biggest new features of the Apple iOS operating system. We have seen snippets of Game Center floating in the 4.0 BETA’s and a few other places but now it looks like Apple have flicked the switch and we are almost good to go. Carry on reading for the Game Center update.

Tomorrow’s Apple event: Your predictions please [UPDATE: Event to be live-streamed]
In case you’ve been living under an Apple-proof rock for the last fortnight then you’ll already know that an Apple event is taking place Sept 1st – that’s tomorrow (02/09) 5am NZ time. This time of year is traditionally when Cupertino unveil refreshed iPods, and from the graphic it’s clear that music is at the heart of the event. An updated iPod touch with front-facing camera and FaceTime is almost a certainty, but there are rumours (as usual) that the event could also be used to announce a slew of other goodies including an all-new Apple TV (iTV), cloud-based iTunes, TV show rentals (for the US), iOS 4 for the iPad, and the release date for the white iPhone 4. We want your predictions, so hit the comments and put your stake in the sand!
UPDATE: Apple have just announced that for the first time they will be live streaming the event on the Apple website. So if any of you are going to be up at 5am and were planning on a date with the refresh button, great news! – You can now sit back and watch the whole thing live. Note that PC owners are left in the dark – this will be available on Mac, iPhone, iPod touch and iPad only

Go get it folks! iOS 4 is available now from an iTunes 9.2 near you.
If you haven’t got it already then go download iTunes 9.2 and run a manual backup (right click on your iPhone/iPod touch in iTunes, hit backup). You may also want to manually back up any images if you plan on doing a restore (which we recommend).
