If you’ve just updated your iPod touch to 1.1.3, you might have noticed that nearly each advertised 1.1.3 feature is missing in action.

Frustrated? Annoyed? Well, you might be after I tell you that you’re probably going to have to fork over another $20 to get those features. You may have thought the $20 January upgrade only applied to the extra software (Mail, Maps, Weather, Stocks, Notes) but apparently no. It also seems to be needed to release your iPod touch’s new 1.1.3 features.

Update: Readers are reporting that Apple may have pulled the update. The Buy button has been replace for some users with a “Remind Me Later” button.

Thanks Justin Nolan

If you’re a seasoned Gmail user, you’re probably well aware that Google’s email is available via IMAP for use with your iPhone. Of course, in previous versions of the iPhone firmware, the all-in-one Gmail configuration option was for the (very different) POP protocol: Gmail didn’t enable IMAP until after the launch of the iPhone.

If you know your IMAP from your SMTP, then you’re probably already aware of why this is neat – and also a curse over the previous POP system, if you don’t take careful note of how the different protocols behave. Because IMAP actually keeps all your folders in sync with your server-side mailbox at Google, any changes you make to your mail on 1.1.3 will now also be reflected on the Gmail server. This means when you delete that message on your iPhone, in 1.1.2 it would still be archived on the Gmail server; with 1.1.3 and IMAP it now hits the master trash can and will be deleted after 30 days under Gmail’s trash can rules. You’ve been warned!

Inquisitor, Dave Watanabe’s search tool for Safari, was the cause of a current debate regarding disclosure of affiliate links. In response to public criticism, Watanabe has released a new version that both marks sponsored links and even grants you to disable the affiliate links entirely. He offers his response in a current blog post.

You’ll notice an update to the download page as well, offering a statement regarding the affiliate links that Inquisitor (now, optionally) inserts into search results. I commend him for this response and I think a lot of people will be relieved that they won’t need to give up one of the tools that makes Safari great, even if just on principle.

www.newshounds.us Is there any person on TV more divisive than Sean Hannity? Yet, with a straight face, he pretended to find divisive politics, particularly racially divisive politics, distasteful. He further pretended that only Democrats use the tactic. “Democratic strategist” Kirsten Powers either didn’t notice or didn’t care about calling Hannity on such an obvious whopper. Sh…

Dan Dickinson has posted a super-simple way to ensure that those who visit your site with an iPod Touch or iPhone will get a nice-looking webclip icon. When I say easy, I mean it:

• Create a 57×57 PNG.
• Name it “apple-touch-icon.png”
• Throw it in the root folder of your website. (Not the root of your server, the root of your web documents.)

That’s it. Note that your icon will receive the glossy treatment as well as those rounded corners, so keep that in mind.
