Infinity Blade 2 sells for $6.99 via the iTunes Store. The 1.0.1 Infinity Blade 2 update is free to people who have already purchased the game already.
UPDATEAfter installing the 1.0.1 update on my iPad 1, I’m still having trouble running Infinity Blade 2. Epic Games is working on on a fix. After installing the update, make sure that you reboot your iPad before trying to play the game. I’ve been able to get a little further into the game before it crashes, but I don’t get to see the introductory cut scene movie. -

Fate of webOS Still Hangs in the Balance
According to a new article on BGR.com today, the fate of webOS, the mobile operating system that HP acquired thru their acquisition of Palm, still hangs in the balance.
After having burned through a staggering $3.3 Billion on webOS, HP has abandoned their plans for any new webOS smartphones or tablets.
“HP CEO Meg Whitman has gone on record in stating that a decision regarding the fate of webOS will be made within two weeks. HP took possession of webOS when it acquired Palm for $1.2 billion in 2010, and that buy yielded one failed tablet that was discontinued shortly after launching, three failed smartphones and soon, perhaps, the death of webOS itself.”
