A Reeder for iPhone update in iTunes is always big news. But when everyone’s favorite client gets Retina Display support and a redesigned icon…well, that is huge news.
That’s right, the latest 2.1 update of Reeder introduces full support for the new iPhone 4 display, a shinier icon, some iOS 4 bug fixes. No new features, but I guess it’s ok for now, right? With that screen, Reeder is perfect.
As usual, you can go download the app for $2.99 here.
Apple and related smartphone manufacturers probably aren’t happy with this one. The Library of Congress has announced new anti-circumvention exceptions to the DMCA policies that legally allow people to jailbreak or root their phones.
Today I have designated six classes of works. Persons who circumvent access controls in order to engage in noninfringing uses of works in these six classes will not be subject to the statutory prohibition against circumvention.
Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset.

Successful discussions with record labels, followed by the promise of an excellent cloud based service that can be accessed via Android, makes Google’s impending music service incredibly appealing. With the opportunity to instantly open-up a new market to millions of new users and the desire to expand past Apple’s iron fist, there’s an interest here that can’t be avoided.
You can already etch that precious name of yours into iPods, but currently you can’t personalize the glorious aluminum of an iPad. Though you might be able to soon: AppleInsider reports that Apple may be prepping for such customization by the holiday season.
The report indicated that Apple would have liked to offer iPad engraving earlier, but due to strong demand for the product, the company has been unable to do so. Apple sold 3 million iPads in the product’s first 80 days, and company officials said last week they are unsure when they will be able to catch up with consumer demand.
The report also indicated that the engraving is expected to be free, like it is with the longstanding iPod option.
The words “I love you” couldn’t be written on a more perfect device.

If CIMM is reading this right now, I’d love to be a part of this focus group. With a million available for funding, CIMM (a research initiative formed by TV networks and advertising agencies) plans to hire the Media Behavior Institute to study 1,000 iPhone loving users to research what they’re viewing, who they’re with (what kind of cliques do iPhone peeps hang out in), and if they were multitasking.
Most importantly if you’re one of the lucky 1,000 participants, you get to play with a free iPhone.

I’m still waiting for someone to one-up the whole iPad iDish thing, but this comes pretty close. We’ve learned that eating off of gadgets can be a pretty sensual experience, but sometimes our techno-lust can lead to unpredictable cravings that can only be solved by bacon. If the thought of a Retina Display infused in your morning slice of bacon doesn’t excite those tingling taste buds, then just wait until you see what Japan has in store for us this time.
If you like Gorillaz, own Plastic Beach and happen to have a magical iPad as well, then this game is for you.
“In the game your job is to get the album of the same name recorded. To achieve this you are band leader, Murdoc, and your job is to fly around on the ‘Doom Glider’ shooting things and avoiding stuff. You get all the music from the album and rather spiffing Jamie Hewlett graphics.”
