With Google's release of its Music Beta today, iOS users were once again left out in the cold when the search giant said the service was Android only. Thankfully though, as with all things geeky, some clever people on the web discovered a way to get the Music Beta goodness on their iOS device.
While Facebook's iPhone app has certainly improved lately, it's still far from the smooth, slick experience we iPhone users are so used to these days.

AirPlay, Apple's magic video and audio streaming service allows users to 'throw' content from one enabled device to another.

Hot on the heals of the iPhone location fiasco (or 'locationgate' for those with a flair for the overly-dramatic) comes Footprints, an application for tracking iOS devices, but in a good way.
Apple is one of the most secretive companies on the planet. They don't (tend to) leak things, they don't tell anyone what's going on behind the scenes. But now Fortune has managed to get behind the curtain at the Cupertino outfit, and the stories coming out are intriguing.
After all the furore surrounding the revelation that iOS devices have been keeping tabs on where they've been and saving the information to various log files both on the device and the computer they're synced to, Apple released iOS 4.3.3 to rectify the issue.
