Using an iPhone or iPad to read books via Amazon’s Kindle App? If so, you will want to hold off on upgrading to the latest version of the app, which was released on Tuesday. That is, if you don’t want your content accidentally erased from your iOS device.

Don’t worry, even if this does happen. the content is still safe in Amazon’s cloud. What it really means is that Kindle app on your iOS device will be reset and you will have to , basically, start over again from scratch by entering your mazon account information and then downloading your content again.

“We have identified an issue with the app update that may cause your app to become deregistered,” an Amazon spokesperson said. “To register, enter your Amazon account e-mail address and password and all your Amazon content will be available in the cloud. We have submitted an update fix for this issue and are working with Apple to release.”

Bummer. At least, if this does happen, all your content isn’t permanently gone. It’s more of a pain than a catastrophe.

As is often the case with software, it needs to be updated. Apple’s iOS is no exception. So, with that in mind, we’ll let you know that Apple release an update to iOS today and it’s now available for download.

Apple’s iOS 6.0.1 update contains, as is usually the case, the infamous “various bug fixes. It also contains a patch which fixes the iPhone 5’s inability to update itself over the air. That’s a bit embarassing to be sure.

If you have an iPhone 5 you will need to download a patch update first, then iOS 6.0.1 update. Other iOS devices can just update over the air normally.

Hoping to avoid issues when the new iPhone 5 arrives on Friday for those who pre-ordered it last week, Apple will release the next version of its mobile operating system for other iOS devices (the iPhone 5 comes with it already installed), dubbed iOS 6, today at 1 PM Eastern. Or, for those of you on the West Coast, that’s right about now.

If you already have a device capable of using iOS 6 and are looking to update your OS, Apple makes it pretty simple. Just go to Settings > General> Software Update and it will ask you if you want to update. Of course, as you probably do, go ahead and say yes. The process will take some time, and may even stall a few times, but be patient as it will eventually work.

You can also get the update by connecting your device to a Mac or Windows PC running iTunes 10.6.3 or later. iOS 6 is compatible with the following devices: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4th and 5th Generation, iPad 2 and the New iPad.

We’ve been running iOS 6 for awhile now and so far, it’s a great update. If you decide to update, let us know how it goes.

Hot on the virtual heels of Hulu Plus arriving for users of the Apple TV, Amazon today released an app for the iPad which allows users to stream content from its library of movie and TV titles. Curious timing, eh?

Season Pass is also available for TV programs with episodes available the morning after the show airs on TV.

The new app is available for the iPad over at the iTunes App Store.

Even though some may have decided Google+ is a vast waseland with nothing to offer, I disagree. In fact, I often find more interesting discussion on G+ than I do on Facebook or Twitter.

Not to say that my friends on Facebook or Twitter don’t have anything interesting to say, they do and often. It’s just that Google+ users tend to go more in depth on subjects and I’ve particularly liked the level of interaction you can have with people there.

But up until now, one thing has been missing: Google+ on the iPad. Fortunately, that’s a problem no more as Google has today released an updated version of the G+ app for iOS which includes full iPad support. It’s pretty much the same as what you get on Android and looks great when combined with the iPad’s retina display.

The Google+ update is available via the iTunes App Store now. Go get it.
