Apple followed up the original iPhone 2G with the 2007 iPod touch G1, but without , or an Email app. iPod touch G2 followed in 2008 and, the missing apps already having been found, fixed the hardware omissions to boot. 2009 saw the iPod touch G3, which doubled the speed and brought maximum storage up to 64GB. If Apple holds true to form, the iPod touch G4 should debut in September 2010.
The AT&T Navigator app and TomTom are my two favorite GPS solutions; TomTom just took the lead with this most recent update.
One of the benefits of the AT&T Navigator app was the ability to search real-time and navigate to a location via the web. Now, TomTom is bringing us that functionality via Google Local Search, [...]
iPod + iTunes is dead on the Apple.com menu, long live iPod | iPhone | iPad | iTunes. (And yes, Mac is still there too).

Tapped on App Store and what did I see? Updates for Tweetie, Loopt, Foursquare, and Flickr — and a couple of those say iPhone OS 3.2 (aka iPad) right there in the What’s New listing. (Yeah, that doesn’t mean 3.2 is coming to the iPhone or these are 1024×768 versions, likely just that they’re built [...]
The delightful Twitter client Birdfeed has been bought, updated, and rebranded by Brizzly and is now available as Brizzly for iPhone… for free! [iTunes link]
If you’re looking for a great Twitter client, give Brizzly a try. (Note: per comment below, you do need a brizzly.com account to use it which might not appeal to some.)

GigaOm is reporting that, contrary to speculation that Steve Jobs wanted to return us to a more analog time when we bought new albums and sank back for ours drinking in every liner note and detail, iTunes LP was actually the record labels’ idea:
