Salespersons? There’s an app for them.
As rumored last month, Apple updated its Apple Store iOS app on Thursday, expanding its in-store pickup pilot program to all of its U.S. retail locations and adding a new EasyPay feature that lets customers buy some items simply by scanning their barcodes.

Buh-bye Facebook, Foursqqre MySpace, LinkedIn integration!
TweetDeck, the leading third party Twitter client, has been acquired by Twitter - according to Techcrunch. As of writing, neither Twitter or TweetDeck have confirmed the deal. If it does go through, it will spell the end of TweetDeck’s grand plan to become the central hub for social networks. In other words, the Holy Grail of the social Web. While it started out as just a third party Twitter client, for most of its nearly 3 year existence TweetDeck has been building itself up to be a “a new browser for the real-time Web.”

AppleInsider | Apple planning standalone digital newsstand app for iPad - report This is one of the hoped-for features I saw as the great promise of the iPad.
I keep imagining the very different physical desk and home office I would have if this came to fruition (and could afford and justify the purchase of the device). |

In a Twitter message just posted earlier tonight, Sean Kovacs announced that Apple will “most likely” approve his GV Mobile application once he resubmits it to the review process. Kovacs noted in an earlier twitter message that his application fully complies with all 110+ of the recently announced “guidelines” for App Store approval and rejection. GV Mobile was pulled from the App Store back in 2009 along with another application written by Riverturn called Voice Central. Both applications are native interfaces for the Google Voice service, which aim to make placing and receiving calls, listening to voice mail, and using SMS messaging easier using your Google Voice account. During the same time period that these two applications were removed from the App Store, Google itself was waiting for approval for their own Google Voice application, which was, according to Apple, neither accepted or rejected but remains “under study”. Whether or not Google’s Application will now get in the App Store as well remains to be seen, but if GV Mobile makes it back in, Google should too.

Grooveshark has a Tumblog! I usually revert to Grooveshark when I want to share music and Blip.fm doesn’t have the song I want to play. It’s too bad Universal Music objected to their iPhone app, making Apple pull it from the App Store.

Geek heaven.
Now, Gizmodo has dug out an iPad app called Captain’s Log that actually makes it look very much like the PADD. The app lets you check your mail or social networking profiles, adding, besides the visuals, little details like the inevitable star date. Yes, it looks quite simple, but if you’re a Trekkie, this is the first app you’ll get.
