The new program—called App Store Volume Purchasing for Business—is aimed at making it easier for enterprises to purchase iOS apps in bulk so they can easily share them with their employees. Of course, those iOS apps are geared for productivity enhancement, not the games and useless apps propagating App Store.

UK developer Greg Hughes had developed an app called Wi-Fi Sync, which as the name implies, allowed users to sync their iDevices wirelessly over a Wi-Fi network.

In the near future, those with jailbroken iDevices will no longer have to solely rely on Cydia to purchase, download and install all of their favorite unofficial third-party applications.

One such find is the apparent removal of the “rate on delete” prompts that a user sees upon deleting an application from their device.

“Once you compare, you’ll know.” It was true of Intellivision vs. Atari 30 years ago, and it’ll hopefully be true of the iPad vs. pretty much everything else come April 3rd. So, why not bring the two together in a perfect marriage between retro gaming geekdom and the potential future of portable computing? VH1 agrees, as they’ll be launching Intellivision Lives in the app store in time for the iPad lauch…pending Apple approval, of course.

The Facebook iPhone application has been amongst the top downloaded applications on the App Store from it’s release. Since then, it has come a long way in terms of development and what it is capable of. However, the latest point release of the application may bring some of the most exciting features to the application. The two updates listed by the developer were push notifications and contact sync.

Just over three months ago, Apple announced their App Store had reached two billion downloads of various applications created by third party developers. This month, Apple stated the App Store has now topped a staggering three billion downloads.

Wolfram Alpa, a “long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone,” recently had their iPhone app accepted by Apple into the App Store. The application—which costs a nicely sized $50—is the first native Wolfram Alpha application available through download in the App Store, although the company has had an iPhone dedicated website for a while. It uses the new API the team has recently opened to allow developers to use the knowledge engine in their own applications and software.
