I’ve been fiddling around with a new Canon MP550 multifunction printer for a few hours and printing works perfectly but it refuses to scan anything. I’ve updated all software and drivers to the latest versions but I still just get the message ‘Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 2.1.0.’ – anyone experiencing the same problem?
According to the latest metrics from 148apps there are now over 250 000 apps in the App Store. Let’s say that you try out 10 new apps every day. Then it will take you 25 000 days, or over 68 years to try them all…
I checked both the US and the UK store and both have updated shipping information for all iPad versions – they now ship within 24hrs. That means that we will see more countries selling iPads very soon!

For the last few years we have got a new iPhone model each year and this year we got the iPhone 4. I have been using this model for almost a month now and I won’t spend several pages going through all the details since you most probably read a few iPhone 4 reviews already but I’ll go through the most important updates and share my personal view of the phone.
Today I have done a small test of the $9.99 app ‘Air Display’. The whole purpose with the app is using your iPad (or your iPhone) as a second screen. It’s a neat idea and an app I tried earlier (iDisplay) failed miserably so it was nice to find this app a whole lot more usable. Review and video inside.
Next Wednesday Apple will have a media event in San Francisco. Last year they introduced iTunes 9, the new iPod nano built-in camera, a new iPod touch lineup and a cheaper iPod shuffle. I guess we most probably will see the new iTunes version 10, and some updated music players. I’m guessing that we will get an iPod Touch featuring a front camera which will enable face time calls but we’ll see on next Wednesday at 10:00 AM PST.
The official text messaging world record is typing the text “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human” in 26 seconds but Brian Sweet managed to type the same text in under 22 seconds on his iPhone 4. Check it out, he’s amazingly fast!

StopMotion Recorder is a cute little $0.99 app that will let you record short stop motion videos with your iPhone. Here’s our short review of the app.
Two of my all time favorite apps for the iPhone are QuadCamera and the TiltShift Generator. They are both designed and developed by the wiz Takayuki Fukatsu and today I made this interview with him.
According to this post over at Mac Rumors, Steve Jobs responded yesterday to a user complaining about slow performance when he updated his iPhone 3G to iOS 4:
Software update coming soon.
