Monday's launch of iOS 4 seems to have caused some hair-pulling for Ford SYNC users. Yesterday's IT Blogwatch was something of a lightning rod for discussion about the issue. Read on for the solution (hopefully) to this iPhone OS 4.0 issue...

iPhone alarm glitch hanging around like a bad smell. It's not working for some, even though Apple said the iOS 4 alarm clock bug would magically vanish Monday.
Despite Apple's promise that it would fix itself by today, the iOS alarm clock glitch is still making pomaceous owners oversleep. iPhone and iPod Touch alarms stubbornly persist in not working due to yet another bug with alarms.

Apple released iOS 4 to great fanfare and kudos today. But to Android users like me, the response is: Is that all there is? Apple is only playing catchup, because the most important iOS 4 features have been available for some time on Android.

{EAV_BLOG_VER:fc4740d210f47bf9} From the moment I downloaded my first app for Apple's iPad, I was addicted. I spent hours and hours the first couple of months downloading and trying apps, and testing different ways to work with Apple's tablet.
