Nexus One owners can stop being jealous that the iPhone got an update today because an over-the-air update for the Google device is being pushed out starting now. It finally brings multitouch along with some 3G fixes and Google Goggles.

Today is the day, people! The day that your Xbox 360 will start showing you new dashboard panels so you can awkwardly Twitter from your console and listen to Last.fm radio, that is! And a few more things.

The 1.2 update just hit, and it's got a massive changelog to go with it. Among the more interesting changes are the new cellular download capability of Amazon MP3, and the ability to download a purchased app again for free.

We knew it was in the works, but now it's here—the 10.6.1 update, with newer Flash plug-in and tweaks for 3G modems, DVD playback, Dock, Mail and other areas. Have at it. [Apple]
The 1.0.4 update for the Palm Pre just got released, but along with patching some security holes, kills the homebrew ability that made everyone so excited.

The new developer's Snow Leopard build, build 10A394, is interesting in that you don't have to reinstall your entire OS to get it—you can just grab it via Software Update.

Do you remember how Microsoft gave first-gen Zune users all the features that could be properly implemented via software update? Apple should be doing this for the iPhone 3G. More »
Mac OS X 10.5.5 update just hit Software Update, and has a laundry list of fixes for not just the OS core (like improved Spotlight indexing), but apps like iCal and Mail, as well as the MobileMe and Time Machine services. TUAW got a heads-up from its readers, and shortly after, it popped up in our Software Update. Check out the update list below. [Apple via TUAW] More »
Microsoft's just gone on the record with RPG-TV and said the Fall Xbox 360 Dashboard Update will be hitting in November, which technically is still a part of Fall. Previous updates have also been released in late November (as close to Winter as you could push it while still being Fall), but all those new features coming this time might be cause for delay, even though they skipped the Spring update for this reason. Seriously Microsoft, will we have to wait another three months to get the ability to make a little avatar that looks like ourselves? You're forcing us to turn on our Wiis? [RPG TV via Kotaku]
The iPhone 2.0.2 update is here and is supposed to fix a bunch of bugs that users have been seeing since iPhone 2.0 hit. Like Boy Genius said before, it's going to be targeting iPhone 3G users, but the changelog of "bug fixes" is vague enough to imply that everyone will see some benefit. Grab it now from iTunes (unless of course you want to be careful and not update to new firmwares right away).
Apple's just seeded the push notification API to developers through the second beta release of the iPhone 2.1 firmware. What this means to you is that developers can now tailor their apps to receive notifications in the background while it's not running, something supremely useful for apps like AIM, and to a lesser extent, Twitter and other social networking apps. The target date back at WWDC for when you'd get your hands on the background notification was September, which seems right seeing as developers need a month or so to integrate it and then get their apps approved. Now *bling* you can *bling* always *bling* know when someone *bling* is trying to *bling* get ahold of you. *bling* [Apple Insider]
