Leanna’s traveling and won’t be able to join us, and Georgia, Chad, and I are going to be a tad late, so iPad live is moving 1 hour later tonight:

(We’ve also had to delay the theme music contest winner announcement by a week — huge apologies but iPhone 4 launch just knocked us silly.)

We need new theme music, make us a kick-apps, copyright-free theme and you’ll win fabulous prizes!

Chat with you soon!

I woke up this morning to find several more emails from people who wanted us to post the looney-toons-esque ways they’d found to destroy an iPhone 4 over the weekend.

And strangely my interest level in them floated precisely around zero.

If you have a spare iPhone 4 give it to charity. Or an Android user. Something. Just stop wasting them — i.e. writing them off as marketing investments leveraged against their return value as link-bait — because I’m not posting them any more.

(Unless someone figures out how to shoot it with a freaking laser, feed the parts to a shark, and then see if the shark blends.)

If you love Tapulous’ Tap Tap Revenge on the iPhone then it’s newer, bigger brother for the iPad, Tap Tap Radiation is something you’re going to want to check out. The core idea is the same — you listen to your favourite tunes, Tap Tap Radiation visualizes them as shiny colored circles racing towards you, and then it is up to your fingers to tap along with the beat.

Tap Tap Radiation gives you 30 free tracks to choose from. Some of the free tracks you are by Serge Devant, Richard VIsson, Mos Def and premium tracks (paid) include songs by Lady Gaga and Pink. The themes, graphics and effects do a good job showing off the iPad’s larger screen and graphics power.

Tap Tap Radiation is the app to get for anyone who owns a iPad and enjoys playing games and listening to music. It’s easy to pick up, relaxing and fun to play, and has three difficulty levels to help keep it challenging.

Tap Tap Radiation Free [iTunes Link].

Pros

• Lots of fun
• Easy to play
• Free

Cons

• Backgrounds could be more dynamic

A new email, allegedly from Steve Jobs about the iPhone 4 antenna band problems — where touching the stainless steel on the lower left side causes the signal to drop or go away completely — seems to a offer a response either curtly dismissive or perhaps… encouraging?

I love everything about the phone except my signal issues

Steve Jobs supposedly replied:

There is no reception issue. Stay Tuned.

Now as with any and all alleged Steve Jobs customer support email, we have no way of knowing whether any individual one is real or not. But if it is… Jedi mind-trick? Cruel pun? Or a sign that Apple knows what the problem is and has a — perhaps iOS 4.0.1 powered — fix in the works?

If so, it could signal a change from Apple’s last communication on the matter:

Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.

Let’s hold to hope.

Does iPhone 4 support the iPad camera kit? Turns out no, at least not under iOS 4. I plugged mine in and immediately got the error you see above. Since I’ve gotten compatibility errors using other accessories in the past that turned out to work just find if I ignored said errors, I plugged in a camera to see if anything magical would happen.

It didn’t.

Whether or not Apple will chose to add that functionality in a future iOS software update, or if they’ve decided that, somewhere in their product differentiation matrix, iPhone is for creating photos and iPad is for consuming them via USB and SD card adapter, we’ll have to wait and see.

[Thanks Sina for asking!]

Just a quick reminder to developers that the iTunes 9.2 beta released back at WWDC 2010 expires on June 30 (just over 4 days from now, Cupertino time).

So, if you haven’t gotten around to updating with the general availability version released week before last, put it on your todo list.

[Thanks for the tip, anon!]
