Apple releases iOS 4.3
Apple has released iOS 4.3 to the general public so you can now update your iOS device.

In addition to the major changes, iOS 4.3 also includes 59 security patches for the mobile version of Safari and offers tweaks to the Camera app, Notes app, Location Services and provides Ping notifications.
The iPad that launched a thousand apps
Data gathered in January show a rush of new projects on the iPhone operating system
Measured by the number of new applications being written for each type of device, Google's (GOOG) Android operating system was closing the gap with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone throughout the second half of 2009, according to Flurry Analytics.
Tracking new application starts, Flurry observed a 25% month-over-month growth in new Android projects over that period and, relative to Android, a slight slackening in the rate of new iPhone projects.
But in January, Apple surged ahead. In that month, Flurry saw the number of iPhone developers adding its tracking code to new projects jump three-fold over December.
"This represents the single largest spike in Flurry history, with over 1,600 new iPhone OS application starts for January," wrote Flurry's Peter Farago in a report posted Friday.
What caused the spike? Flurry attributes it to the imminent arrival of the iPad:
"Historically, Flurry has measured surges in new application starts within its system in anticipation of new device launches, including for the Motorola Droid and iPhone 3GS. As such, we hypothesize that excitement generated by Apple’s iPad event in January is driving this growth. For developers who get a jump on customizing their applications for the iPad, there may be an opportunity to stand out early on, and earn more downloads."
We'll find out in March whether the iPad excitement Flurry measured in January survived the unveiling of the device in February.

Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs
Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs
Dear Apple Community,
For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.
Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.
I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.
As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.
Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.
The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.
I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.
So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.
Steve
