Hasta La Gadget!

Today Apple unleashed a slew of awesome products to the world and they are all running on their new and improved iOS 6. While they mentioned a brand new and awesomely overhauled iTunes 11 coming later in October, today they’ve pushed an incremental update out to support all their new goodies.

iTunes 10.7 is available right this moment to download. This will bring full support for iOS 6 (including the GM release seeding out now) as well as support all of Apple’s brand new devices. That includes the iPhone 5, the new iPod Touch, and the iPod Nano. Who’s excited?

Sadly we’ll have to wait for the “simplified” iTunes 11, but for those that want to make sure they are fully ready to rock for when these devices start making the rounds you can get iTunes 10.7 for Mac and PC right now. To get started with the download you’ll want to click here.

It doesn’t appear to have any changes, feature improvements, or anything else for that matter although the 165MB download is still rather large. The page still says “coming soon” but you can download it right this minute online. Oddly enough the new iTunes isn’t showing up on OSX update notifications like my MacBook Pro. Get the latest update now and stay tuned for more details on iTunes 11.

For everything else that happened today in the world of Apple take a peek at our Apple Portal.

Router, Rowter. However you say it, you probably need one, which is why ASUS is temping you toward buying one of its new AiCloud models. The new service is designed to unify your data across devices, letting you share and stream multimedia and documents from PCs to smartphones. You’ll also be able to store files online, remote control your PC from your tablet and create single-click download links to share with your friends. ASUS is so excited about the project that it’s released a new advert telling you all about it, which we’ve included for you after the break.

Right alongside iOS 6 beta 4, Apple has also pushed out beta 4 software for its Apple TV — useful for “testing AirPlay for iOS apps,” according to the company. Not surprising, actually, considering that a bit of the polish from the former relied on updates to the latter. It’s available as we speak to registered developers, and it promises to fix a number of niggles involving restarts while using the Remote app, the wrong resolution being displayed on one’s HDTV, and a Photo Stream quirk that prevented some images from loading. The bullet-point breakdown is hosted up after the break.

We’ve seen plenty of users report that Apple’s latest OS, Mountain Lion, has caused a massive drop in battery life. While we haven’t been able to confirm any decrease in longevity with our own OS 10.8 machines, which include previous generation MacBook Pros and the company’s latest Retina model, it’s clear that some of you who were able to get the operating system downloaded and installed have experienced some not-so-favorable side effects with your Pros and MacBook Airs. While there are plenty of theories, there has yet to be a fix, though Apple is reportedly investigating the issue. This isn’t the first time users have reported decreased battery life after an OS update, with a lengthy support thread popping up after Lion’s release last year. So, how has the upgrade affected you? Sound off in the poll below to let us know.

The Humble Bundle may have gone mobile on Android earlier this year, but that’s proven to be a relatively small jump compared to the organization’s latest expansion. It’s now rolled out its first Humble Music Bundle, a collection of six albums that, as always, you can name your price for. Those include an album of rarities from They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Coulton’s Greatest Hit (Plus 13 Other Songs), an exclusive MC Frontalot collection, Christopher Tin’s Calling All Dawns, and game composer Hitoshi Sakimoto’s Best of the Valkyria Chronicles — plus OK Go’s Twelve Remixes of Four Songs if you pay above the current average price. Naturally, all of the albums are DRM-free and available in both MP3 and FLAC formats, and you’re able to choose what percentage of your payment goes to the artists, charities (Child’s Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation) and the Humble Bundle organization itself. You can get a taste of what’s in store in the video after the break, or get previews of each album before you buy at the link below.
