American Idol tab in Wi-Fi iTunes store

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Mar 4th, 2008

If you have recently used the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on the iPhone or iPod touch, then you may have noticed a new tab that Apple added. In the "Featured" category, you will find an "American Idol" tab beside "New Releases" and "Genres."

Now you can get your American Idol fix any time you're around a Wi-Fi signal!

Thanks, shon.

Redeem iTunes gift cards on-the-go

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jan 17th, 2008


When Apple released the iPhone / iPod touch 1.1.3 update; there was one new option in the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store that wasn't given much attention. With the inclusion of the update, you can now activate an iTunes Gift Card right from the Wi-Fi store.

You can find this new "Redeem" option in the "Downloads" section of the Wi-Fi store. Just tap the button, enter in the code from the back of the gift card, and then click "Redeem" again, and the gift card will be added to your account. The only problem that I see about this option is the fact that you cannot view (on the go) how much money is still credited to your iTunes account, however, this is a welcomed feature to the iTunes Wi-Fi Store.

[Update:] In the comments, some readers have noted that in the "Downloads" screen of the Wi-Fi Store, you will see your current iTunes account balance.

Moment of Truth: iPhone Software 1.1.1 is out

by Nik Fletcher (RSS feed) on Sep 27th, 2007


Earlier in the week, Apple's press release about how future software updates might well brick SIM-unlocked iPhones lit something of a fire - especially as the release stated "Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, later this week."

It's now later in the week, and the moment of truth for those who chose to unlock their SIMs, as the 152MB v1.1.1 update is now available via the iTunes Auto-Update. If you were one of the adventurous ones, the general consensus is to hold off from upgrading as the iPhone Dev Team have promised a re-locking tool within a week that should prevent your iPhone becoming an overpriced paperweight and allow you to enjoy the new iTunes Wi-Fi Store (and more) on your iPhone.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
