Apple says iPad sales have topped two million in less than 60 days since its launch on April 3. Apple began shipping iPad in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK this past weekend. The iPad will be available in nine more countries in July and additional countries later this year.

"Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do," says Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone."

He adds that developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps for iPad that take advantage of its multi-touch user interface, large screen and high-quality graphics. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone or iPod touch.

The Dept. of Justice's probe into Apple is expanding to include how the iPhone and iPad maker does business with media outfits in areas beyond music, according to "The New York Post" (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/apple_probe_grows_eC2Xojek2kBNijBO...), quoting "several," anonymous sources.

According to these sources, the Justice Dept. has contacted a handful of the country's biggest media and technology companies to get their views on Apple, "which, after years of casting itself as the tiny outsider, has become an 800-pound gorilla calling the shots in several arenas," the article adds.

Hollywood industry source purportedly said: "You can't dictate terms to the industry. The Adobe thing is just inviting the wrath of everybody." With the iPad, Apple has been criticized by many for...

Microsoft and Apple are in long-term talks about adding the Bing search service as a prominent option on the iPhone and not as a replacement of Google as has been rumored, according to"All Things D" (http://kara.allthingsd.com/20100528/microsoft-talking-to-apple-about-bei...).

Currently, Google is the default search on the popular mobile device, although you can switch the search option to Yahoo, if you wish. Microsoft wants to be added to the search options, "but has wanted to do so in a way that makes the choice more visible," according to "All Things D." In addition, Microsoft wants to make its Bing mapping more integrated with the iPhone, the article adds.

Here are the latest iPhone/iPod touch/iPod/iPad apps announced. You can find 'em at the Apple App Store (http://www.itunes.com/appstore/).

We were hoping that Apple would get serious about its "hobby," the Apple, TV, and according to the "endgaget" web site (http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/the-next-apple-tv-revealed-cloud-stor...), this is finally going to happen.

The report says that the next Apple TV rev -- which WON'T be unveiled at next month's Apple Worldwide Developer Conference -- will be based directly on the upcoming iPhone 4, meaning it will get the same internals, down to that A4 CPU and a limited amount of flash storage -- 16GB to be exact -- though it will be capable of full 1080p HD, the article says. What's more, it will run a version of iPhone OS 4, not Mac OS X.

"engadget" says the device is said to "be quite small with a scarce amount of ports (only the power socket and...

Apple stated in its US press release of March h29 that the "iPad will be sold in the US through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores, most Best Buy stores, select Apple Authorized Resellers and campus bookstores."

It seems that Apple has expanded slightly from the US model for Australia as it has been reported that the iPad is being sold in two large electronics goods centric chain stores, the largest national department store as well as the largest Apple Authorized Reseller in the country. Of course the iPad is available in all seven of the Apple Retail Stores and the Apple Online Store as well.

The list includes:

Electronics resellers: Dick Smith, JB Hi-Fi

Department stores: Myer
Apple Authorized Reseller: Next Bye

This development has to be seen in favourable light as it becomes more important for the new Apple customer as well as the walk-in retail trade of far flung Aussie places. Sometimes...

Federal antitrust regulators may be able to build a case against Apple over its iTunes business because the company has a dominant share of the U.S. music download market, an antitrust lawyer told "Computerworld" (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177460/Apple_vulnerable_in_iTune...). The size of Apple's share matters to the government, according to Hillard Sterling, an antitrust attorney at Chicago-based law firm Freeborn & Peters LLP.

The Justice Department is reportedly examining Apple’s tactics in the digital music market for digital music, and its staff members have talked to major music labels and Internet music companies. Apple is the largest seller of online music in the U.S., with 69% of the market, according to data from the...

The Free Software Foundation is up in arms over Apple's iTunes Store Terms of Service, suggesting that these terms fundamentally conflict with the terms of the GNU Public License, according to an "Ars Technica" report (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/05/fsf-apples-itunes-store-terms-...).

The foundation has warned Apple that a version of GNU Go distributed by the App Store makes Apple liable to comply with GPL terms that allow free sharing of code, but warned that its "Usage Rules" violate those terms. The fallout could potentially affect any app that uses GPLed code, says "Ars Technica."

An iPhone port of GNU Go is currently...
