Yes had launched its Yes Life app for iOS devices. Now, you can turn your iPod Touch and iPad into a mobile phone, or add a second line to your iPhone with a Yes 018 mobile number. It’s all possible with the new Yes Life for iOS app, now available on the Apple App Store.

With your Yes ID, you can make calls from almost any iOS device. No SIM required. Simply log in to the Yes Life app on any iOS device with your Yes ID, and make calls and SMS from your own number.

Have Yes Life installed on your PC or Mac? Incoming calls will ring all devices you’re logged-in to so you can choose to take it on both your iOS device or computer. Talk about synchronicity.

If you already have an iPhone, the Yes Life app will run in the background, alerting you to any incoming messages or calls. Now you can have two mobile numbers, without a second phone.

Don’t have a Yes ID? You can sign up for a 14-day trial, with RM5 credit, right on the app.

In Apple’s recent response to the iPhone’s location-tracking database, the company mentions that an update to iOS is coming, “sometime in the next few weeks.”

Due to a bug in the iPhone’s location database, Apple plans pushing an incremental update to iOS very soon. There’s no word on an official release date, but we should be seeing iOS 4.3.3 before the end of next month.

In its Q&A, Apple said that the next update to iOS would include,

?reduces the size of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database cached on the iPhone,
?ceases backing up this cache, and
?deletes this cache entirely when Location Services is turned off.
In the next major iOS software release the cache will also be encrypted on the iPhone.

So, no major updates to speak of, but people that were concerned about the privacy issues related to this location-tracking issue will be able to rest easy.

After about 1 year of public testing since its 1st release of Platform Preview to developers on March 2010, Microsoft finally releases Internet Explorer 9 (IE9).

IE9 improves on support to the latest web technologies nowadays, including HTML5, CSS3, SVG, XHTML, and a new Javascript engine called “Chakra” (is this developed by Indian developers). It also features GPU-powered hardware acceleration for better and faster graphical and video support.

However, IE9 is only made available for Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and is not supporting Windows XP. This means that if you are still using Windows XP and want to use a modern web browser, you are forced to upgrade to later version of Windows, or you better change your favourite browser to the upcoming Firefox 4 or Chrome 9, which will also support for the latest web technologies, and at the same time still available to Windows XP.

Is it worth the download? Is it better than Google’s Chrome browser or Mozilla’s Firefox?
