Google Now, a service that Android users have enjoyed for a year , just became available on iOS devices in the form of an update to the Google Search app, confirming those leaked videos we saw a few weeks ago. It won’t have integration with notifications or alerts at launch — it may come in a future update, but the company wasn’t willing to divulge its future plans — so you’ll need to enter the app and swipe up to refresh your list of cards. . . . → Read More: Google Now available on iOS devices starting today Apple has been weaning app developers away from UDID and its privacy concerns for more than a year , but it looks like the company’s about to put its foot down — and up the hardware support requirements in the process.

The release is targeted and doesn’t appear to fix much if anything else, but we’ll keep our ears to the ground for more. For now, check for an update in iTunes or on-device to cure at least some of your iOS gear’s recent battery woes . . . → Read More: Apple pushes iOS 6.1.2 with Exchange bug fix  RoboCat and Taptanium aren’t fans of the typical weather app , which tends to bombard the user with numbers when they just need a heads-up as to whether it’s warm or likely to rain. Its newly launched Haze, then, is the potential antidote. The iOS app initially shows just the core temperature, humidity and hours of sunlight in different sections, with its namesake haze effect giving a clue as to whether conditions are trending up or down. . . . → Read More: Haze for iOS launches, clears the visual clutter of weather apps (hands-on)  Conspicuously timed just after a Super Bowl dubbed by some (mostly marketing types) as the “most social ever”, GetGlue has pushed a new version of its app for iPhones.

Much like the iPad version, this one provides access to over 30,000 titles from Prime Instant Video available to Prime members for no extra cost, while the roaming public at large can tap into some 140,000 titles at various price points . . . → Read More: Amazon Instant Video streaming app now available for iPhone and iPod touch |
