Nope it is available in Australia mate ;)

Hit software update and it all should be there, also Jim is Canadian(I know this was written by Peter) so I would assume he would pipe up or Peter would have mentioned if it is US only, they're good like that. The iOS4 update is released on US time but has is available worldwide at the same time.

I also don't really follow your point at least software wise it seems to me all Apple announcements apply to the world aside from things like the iPhone Apple Store app and when the hardware is announced Apple are pretty good at specifying where it will be available.

It says Safari 4 but the download says Safari 5... Weird.

No is Apple's reply. Quite emphatically no. There will not be Flash. NEVAR!!!

I think the OS *might* have something to do with that as well. Using the beta and soon the GM Seed the iOS4 seemed to make things just a little snappier on my 3GS not a huge amount quicker but it did seem to work a little quicker.

As for the new iPhone, I will have to wait and see how much the upgrade cost will be. My early termination charge half way through my contract is just over $1000 so it may make more sense just to buy it outright.

There has to be ways to improve OS X but aside from re doing the core apps I haven't a clue, do you have any inside word on what we might expect feature wise?

With every iteration of Windows you can see they're usually glaring UI updates and usability fixes but with OS X they seem to be more on refining the OS rather than the overhaul you see from MS I am not sure if that comes down to the release schedule seems quicker for OS X or if they have just nailed the GUI and are now focusing all their efforts on under the hood enhancement.

I am unsure as to what 10.7 Thunder Cat will offer as I can't really imagine there is much to improve on unless they actually grab all the core applications like Mail, iCal etc and completely re do them.

If you add the iPhone's Satisfaction rating and that of AT&T's you get 100% so thats something right?

Jim, Just playing with it now, seems to work really well, I bought Civilization 4 from them and the transaction was painless and quick. The download on the other hand took about 4-5 hours their servers don't really seem to be up to snuff. It initially kicked off with speeds of 1.0Mb/s but slowly went down to about a 100Kb/s and went down even further but all in all it seems to be a tight little app and works quite nicely.

So right now this CS5 Flash to iPhone will be out of date immediately to developers(at least the paying ones) and it won't be continually upgraded to fall into line with Apples releases of it's new SDK as and when it becomes available if thats what they mean by 'additional investments'. Surprise Surprise.

Do you think this is going to blow out the approval process again? Also what would annoy me is if there are suddenly 2 copies of each app appearing in a search one iPad app and one iPhone version.
