According to this recent post over at Macworld, an Apple spokesperson Natalie Harrison confirmed that the bug officially exists “We’re aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,” she also said. “Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.

Broken Sword Director’s Cut is currently free for download in the App Store. It’s not my cup of tea regarding games, but it has got nice ratings:

“…this is a must-play game: a latter day blockbuster in a director’s cut form”. The Independent online (5/5)

“An extraordinary example of how to properly remake a classic”. Pocket Gamer (9/10)

So if you got some 600MB to spare on your iPad, go get it!

Tomorrow iPad will finally be launched in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Many Apple lovers have of course already bought one from abroad (there’s approximately 40 000 iPads already in Sweden according to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet) but now it’s possible to buy an official iPad. The actual launch will take place in about 20 minutes (30 Nov, 00:00, GMT +1) and some stores have open during the night to start deliver the goods. I guess Apple isn’t to happy about this launch since some of the sites started publishing the information about the upcoming iPad way too early, like MediaMarkt.se.

Gameloft has a special Thanksgiving sale on a bunch of their top iPad / iPhone games including Settlers 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front, NFL 2011 and more. They are only $0.99 until tomorrow. Most of them are in the App Store toplist, so just fire it up and go nuts.

Today is the day many iPad owners have been waiting for – the roll out of iOS 4.2.1. With this update the iPad will get support for folders, multitasking, AirPrint, AirPlay, better email, TV rentals and a few other neat updates. So plug in your iPad (and your iPhones and iPods as well of course) and start your iTunes in a few minutes to get the update.

Update: It’s live! And it’s 4.2, not 4.2.1 so expect another update within the next few days.

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!

Check out the shot above. The same web page from Vimeo on my MacBook, my iPad and my iPhone – yes, most of the videos on Vimeo are now delivered via HTML 5 instead of Flash. Lovely and kudos to Vimeo who’s not nagging about Flash compability and just solves the problem with iPad/iPhone browsing! Read more about it at the newteevee blog.
