Anyone know if the new iBooks is going to be available for the iPad running 3.2?

drofgnal · 06-21-2010, 03:01 PM

I tried at 12 CDT and it still wasn't available.

drofgnal · 06-21-2010, 03:02 PM

Its 1 CDT and the update is now available. Will make you update to itunes 9.2 first.

A friend on IM just downloaded it on his iPod Touch-has already crashed once trying to access the App Store after updating, though. He loves the folders feature!

Me too-sadly, it won't let me download over 3G.

Uh...I just refreshed my iPad App Store, and iBooks 1.1 just disappeared from the Store...and is showing the old 1.01 update..but...

1.1 just showed up in Updates, and IS downloading thru 3G now. Something is a bit screwy

I'm through with the update process. Took a while. I had to update to itunes 9.2 first. Doing the itunes update also updated Safari, security update and something else. Reboot, then update iphone. Took some time 10 minutes. Wipes out your itunes library so you'll have to reload music. I haven't tried any apps yet or folders for apps. Doesn't appear to be much different other than I now have my start up picture behind my apps instead of a black screen.

I've been running the GM and love it - folders in particular. Got everything consolidated onto two screens, goodbye endless swiping. I also like being able to (FINALLY) get rid of the plain black wallpaper.

Multitasking will be nice once apps have updated to use it, but for now it's basically just a quick way to get back to recently used apps. The good thing is, it's really simple to implement, so developers have no excuse not to update quickly.

So folders...I went from six screens of apps to two screens of apps...the first screen is mostly single apps I want direct access to, the second screen is all folders of apps.

I have to say, while I like the organizing idea..it looks a bit weird

I also have to dig around now to find stuff, but, maybe its still better than scrolling thru screens of apps...haven't decided yet

It definitely is less cluttered.

Now my iPad screen is looking a bit...uh...cluttered. I realize that its always something

Can someone please tell me if they also get their itunes library wiped with the update to iOS4? Also is this just on the device, or does it effect the music on the itunes program itself?

Updating to iTunes 9.2 on the PC is just like any other update - it "processes" your library after updating (which took about half an hour for me) but it certainly doesn't wipe anything.

Thanks Harry. Yes, I have done the 9.2 update already, a few day ago, without any issues. Just wondering if there is any wiping of anything with the iOS4 update.
