iOS 4 Software Update Released, Now Available as Free Download
Hey! Got an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad? Plug that sucker in. It’s time to update.
Apple’s free iOS 4 software update adds over 100 new features, including much-requested multitasking functionality for iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod Touch devices.
All hardware generations will be able to enjoy other features such as iBooks, playlist creation, app gifting, spell checking, and Bluetooth wireless keyboard support.
A notable improvement for iPhone game fanatics is iOS 4’s new Folders functionality. Users can now sort up to 2,160 applications in customizable folders, making it far easier to find your favorite games and utilities.
Be warned that iOS 4’s many changes will likely result in unexpected bugs and glitches for existing applications. Any potential issues will likely be smoothed over as applications update over the next few weeks, but in the meantime, be aware that many popular games — including ngmoco’s Eliminate Pro and Touch Pets Dogs — may not work as expected.

Preview: Portal 2 (co-op)
Chis Grant: So, lucky us, after the first full day of E3, you and I were the only pair to play Portal 2 together, cooperatively, without Valve. Valve writer Erik Wolpaw has been giving the the demo while playing as the second player, but he said he thought we looked like we could handle it on our own.
Richard Mitchell: It was surprising to me how quickly we fell into step, actually. If you've played Portal before, it's kind of amazing how soon you start thinking cooperatively — figuring out how you need two people to solve a given puzzle. It's a different experience, but it's still Portal.
