Garageband for OS X needs 180MB compatibility update for Garageband for iPad
I’m reviewing Griffin’s Guitar Connect Pro this weekend. One of the things I wanted to test was copying a multi-track recording from the iPad to a Mac by downloading the tracks via iTunes to try to clean up my sloppy playing by quantizing the guitar tracks. Having never done this previously, I learned that the already up-to-date Garageband for OS X needs a compatibility update in order to import the tracks from its iPad counterpart. Note that the informational screen that popped up on my Mac specifically mentions Garageband for iPad. I have not tried this with Garageband running on an iPhone (which is a Universal app).

Beatles Yellow Submarine multimedia ebook available for free in Apple’s iBookstore
Apple is providing a multimedia ebook of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine for free. The book has audio, limited animation, and video clip components to it. It is categorized as a children’s book. But, any Beatles fan will probably get a kick out of it.
Navigation through the pages feels a lot jerkier than other iBook ebooks on my iPad 2. I do not see this kind of page turning hesitation when reading conventional iBook ebooks.

A top 10 recommendation list and the Instant Queue follows. Rows of categorized recommendations follows the first three standard lists.
