I updated WordPress on the iPad 2 to v2.8 and can confirm that it does not support the new Quick Photo feature. There’s no indication that it even exists (no grayed out button).

Comic Book News HD for iPad
Comic Book News HD for iPad is a featured app in the iTunes App Store this week. So, I decided to take a look at it. The app provides brief summaries of new comic books from most of the major publishers. One big hole in list is DC (Superman, Batman, etc.).
The app crashed when trying to select a publisher the first few times I used the app. However, it eventually let me choose publisher categories without crashing. Bringing content down from the net takes a long time for every action. I found the app was too slow overall for me and uninstalled it.

Tower Madness HD: Interesting But Not my Cup of Tea
Tower Madness HD for the iPad is a free tower defense type game. The object is to place weapons in the path of the invading aliens to protect the sheep (sheep?). My problem with it is too difficult at the very first level. It seems to want to force you to make an in-app purchase (using real money) to buy better weapons.
Addictive games tend to be easy in the beginning to let your learn the rules and draw you in. Addictive games also provide enough interactivity to keep you interested and engaged. Tower Madness HD simply runs on automatic pilot for wave after wave after wave of invading aliens after you place the weapons on the playing field. I’m surprised it made it so high up the iTunes iPad free apps list (it is currently #4). I’m uninstalling it from my iPad. Next!

iPhone 4 32GB Model is in Short Supply, What’s Up with Apple’s Supply Chain?
Wednesday (June 23, 2010) was simply not my day. The blog I write for five days a week, MobileContentToday.com (MCT), and its parent site, mediabistro.com were unreachable during my normal writing period. This blog entry detailing my other big problem is being posted here because MCT is down with no sign of being revived anytime soon. Here’s the story.
I pre-ordered a 32GB iPhone 4 on June 15. I have an email from Apple confirming that the pre-order was processed. However, given all the problems with the iPhone pre-order process (I spent 75 minutes trying and retrying to place my pre-order before finally succeeding), This past weekend I visited the nearby Apple Store where my reserved iPhone 4 is scheduled for pickup starting at 7am on June 24. I asked one of the employees there to verify my pre-order. She could not do so at the moment. So, she wrote down my name and telephone number.
On Wednesday, June 23, at about 4:30pm, I received a call from someone from the local Apple Store who told me:
1. My pre-order was confirmed (good so far)
2. I might NOT be able to buy the 32GB iPhone 4 model I had pre-ordered I was not provided any alternative.The only conclusion I can reach, given this information, is that there is a serious shortage of the 32GB model of the iPhone 4. This combined with the lack of any while iPhone 4 units points to a serious problem in Apple’s supply chain.
I’m still planning to go to the local Apple Store to buy an iPhone 4. I suppose I could simply not exercise my reserved pre-order, wait a few weeks, and be assured to get a 32GB model. But, I really want to play with and write about the iPhone 4 now. So, I may end up and be stuck with a 16GB model.
