Apple updates iOS for all devices

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

iPad and iPod

A few days ago, Apple Inc deployed an update to their iOS platform across their entire mobile device line, including the iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. On the iPad, the version went from 3.2 to 3.2.1, where the major fix includes optimizations to the Wi-Fi component of the  iPad, allowing for a more consistent and reliable 3G connection. On the iPod touch and iPhone, the version went from 4.0 to 4.0.1, with the main issue being addressed including a more accurate representation of signal strength on the device.

We encourage all of our clients to sync their mobile Apple devices to obtain these updates. As they are connectivity-related, this will result in more consistent performance with the Venue Driver suite.

Starting this Friday, July 16th and continuing through Sunday, July 18th, in Asbury Park, New Jersey and Montréal, Quebec, Venue Driver hits the road for a bit in support of the undisputed number-one DJ talent in the world: Tiësto.

For the past two-and-a-half years, Venue Driver has been the ticketing and e-commerce solutions provider to the top-ranked artist for the North American market. In addition to managing ticketing sales and support through his tiesto.com and inthebooth.com members-only fansite, Venue Driver has provided dedicated technical support personnel for each of his shows in North America to manage our innovative iPod and iPad-based ticket scanning and validation systems. Tiësto’s fans who purchase tickets through our systems enjoy several perks, including expedited entry, and a select few have a chance to meet the legendary artist in person.

See the Venue Driver systems in action at the historic Asbury Park Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey, this Friday and Saturday, and at the Beach Club de Pointe-Calumet in Montréal, Quebec this Sunday afternoon.
