Free to our clientele, this update includes mostly under-the-hood improvements with regards to stability. One notable addition in this update is now events are displayed with their dates, especially useful to our clients who have a repetitive event every week without “banner” talent to differentiate each event. This update is available now through the App Store and can be acquired via iTunes or via the App Store app on your iOS device.

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.
