iPhone 3GS and 3G owners, plus iPod Touch-users, time to plug in to your computer and download iOS4. It’s here.
We’re getting reports of the iOS4 being live, and it’s currently being downloaded by users right now. If it isn’t live for you yet, keep hammering that update button until it is. (Because if you can’t get it, then you might as well slow things down for people who can. I kid, I kid.)
You’ll need to have downloaded iTunes 9.2 (and you should run a manual back-up if you haven’t already). It’s the only way to get the brand new features in Apple’s latest OS that they announced a few months ago, including multitasking, fast app-switching, local notifications, and iBooks. For the list of the best new features, mosey on over here, otherwise check out the official line from Apple below. [Apple]
Update: And here are the direct links to the update, courtesy of TUAW> This way you don’t need to wait for iTunes to tell you you’re ready for an update. YOU’RE TELLING IT.
iPod Touch 2G
iPod Touch 3G
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
To install these, hit the update link while holding down the option button, so you can select the fiel you downloaded from your hard drive.

Time to start loading up on music: Apple has announced it will give one lucky customer a $10k iTunes gift card once it reaches . Apple calls the event a “huge milestone for music” and “our way of saying thanks” to the boatloads of people who depend on iTunes for all of their music needs.
If you’re at least 13 years old and reside in a participating country (full list on Apple’s Web site), you can submit as many as 25 entries per day either by purchasing music or completing the no purchase necessary form.
Does this sound familiar? Apple pulled a similar promotion last year to celebrate the 1 billionth app download from its App Stoire. The lucky winner collected a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod Touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro (much nicer than a gift card alone).
Back in 2008, iTunes stole the crown and became the number one U.S. music retailer, proving that digital downloads were here to stay (it passed 5 billlion downloads in June 2008, for perspective). Meanwhile physical media will likely go the way of the dinosaurs sooner rather than later.
