Not sure it’s a great idea to expose the iPad to those sort of rough conditions – hopefully the’ve got some heavy-duty protection for it. TUAW reckons that is The Weather Channel’s app they’re using on it.
I’m definitely leaving my iPad at home today – as we’re getting clobbered with rain and storms in Texas.

Black Enterprise Wealth for Life for iPadhas been updated over the weekend, to Version 1.2. This is not a major update, as the version number would indicate – but it’s got some welcome improvements. Here’s the full list of changes:
I’ve applied the update and seen most of the improvements mentioned above. The showing of download progress is a very welcome addition. I hope that next on their list is getting the app to remember where you left off when you exit and go back in. You can find this latest version of Black Enterprisein the App Store now, and it’s a free app.

Apple’s smallest portable media player has been put under the microscope, with a thorough disassembly offering a peek inside the fourth-generation iPod shuffle.
Is it possible the new iPod nano isn’t running iOS, but isn’t running the old iPod OS, either? The latest firmware has hit Apple’s servers so developers are tearing into it and here’s what Steven Troughton-Smith had to say on Twitter:
The nano codename is N20 it appears; also labelled as “1.0″ of the OS. Definitely not iOS
Rusty Mercury also says it’s running on a Samsung S5L8723, a step up from the previous Samsung S5L8723.
So what is this OS 1.0? something new? Something hybrid?

Apple has confirmed that Game Center, its social and gaming networking application included with iOS 4.1, will work on the second-generation iPod touch, but not on the iPhone 3G.
The final release version ofiOS 4.1for iPhone or iPod touch hits sometime this week (perhaps Wednesday?) and we’ll post it up right on the front page the minute it’s ready. Before you race to download, however, there are a few steps you want to go through to get ready — to make sure you have the smoothest upgrade possible.
iPhone 4gets the full update.iPhone 3GSand the 2009Pod touch G3(64GB and 32GB) get everything their hardware supports (no HDR photos, HD YouTube uploads, etc.).
iPhone 3G and iPod touch G2 (which includes the 2009 iPod touch 8GB) get performance fixes, which really plagued them following iOS 4.
The 2007 original iPhone 2G and iPod touch aren’t compatible with iOS 4 or iOS 4.1.
If you’re not sure which iPhone or iPod touch you have, check Apple’s support pages. [iPhone,iPod touch]
You neediTunes 10in order to use all the new features, like Ping social music network. Apple released it last Wednesday so, if you haven’t gotten it already, hit Software Update and download the latest, or get it directly from Apple. [iTunes 10].
(Developers, remember you have the option of updating via Xcode instead of iTunes).
Many folks who Jailbreak their iPhone or iPod touch likely won’t rush to update but will wait for an iOS 4.1 Jailbreak first. If for some reason you do want to update sans Jailbreak, consider restoring to stock 4.0.2 first. You may not have a problem, but we’ve heard from enough readers enough times that we recommend this including this step.
Again, updating to iOS 4 will mean no Jailbreak, no unlock for now. If that’s a deal breaker for you, don’t upgrade.
If you need extra help with this step, we’ve got athread up in the TiPb Jailbreak Forumjust for you.
Once you have iTunes 10 installed, plug in your iPhone and/or iPod touch and sync it. You want your data backed up, anything you’ve purchased or updated on-device transferred safely to your Windows/Mac library, and the position of any media you’re currently enjoying recorded so you can keep going from the same place once your iOS 4.1 update is done.
Remember, if you haven’t synced in a while it could take a few minutes to backup. Don’t be impatient, let it run.
Once that’s done, launch iPhoto on your Mac or your favorite image capture program on Windows and copy over any photos you’ve taken on the iPhone. Losing your Camera Roll, especially if it has a lot of special moments recorded, is something to be avoided at all costs.
Once everything is done and ready, and if you’re still waiting for Apple to release the update, why not check out ourcomplete iOS 4.1 walkthroughso once you’ve downloaded and installed it you can spend your time enjoying the new functionality, not trying to discover it.
