Found - QR Codes Help Consumers Shop for Wine
Initiative by Lion Nathan Wines (USA)
-----
QR codes will be featured on the neck tags of wine bottles, shelf displays and wine menus. Consumers can use their mobile devices to scan codes and pull up detailed information about a particular bottle of wine.
Each QR code is associated with a specific wine, and each scan will pull up a mobile-friendly site replete with information on each wine. Scanners can watch videos about the wine in question, get video tours of wineries, discover food pairings, read up on harvest and tasting notes and check out reviews.

News: Australian World Cup Betting May Top A$300 Million
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
--------Australian bets on the soccer World Cup may reach a record A$300 million ($254 million), exceeding the annual take for the nation’s domestic football codes, according to bookmakers including Tabcorp Holdings Ltd.The forecast for the tournament, which starts today, compares with turnover of about A$200 million four years ago, said Craig Nugent, managing director of sports betting at Melbourne-based Tabcorp, Australia’s biggest gambling company.While betting, attendance and television viewership of domestic professional soccer lags behind Australian rules football and rugby league, the World Cup may overtake their takings this year as the competition draws those who don’t normally gamble, Nugent said.Australia will play its first game of the tournament on June 13 local time against Germany. Other members of its group are Ghana and Serbia.Should the Australian team, known as the Socceroos, make it to the second round and meet England, Nugent is expecting the match to be the most gambled on game in the country’s sports betting history.“If Australia goes through their group and England win theirs, we would expect it would break all records,” he said.Tabcorp today started an application for Apple Inc. iPhones to place bets.Via businessweek.com

Yay - Twitter for iPad
Everyones talking about it.... here's the official line:
"What is Twitter for iPad? And how is it different from our iPhone app?Twitter for iPad brings your Tweets together with web pages, photos, videos and more. Tap on any tweet, and a related content pane will open, displaying any linked content from the tweet, including web pages, profile information, hashtag searches and similar users. Slide panels from side to side and quickly navigate through related content.There's also easy ways to quickly peek into a tweet- Pinch on a tweet to quickly unfold related information and actions- Use two fingers to drag on tweet and reveal replies" -

Not a huge fan of wrapping mobile sites within the shell of an iPhone app, they tend to be clunky and cheat the user of the full 'App experience'.
The UI has been optimised for the platform (although some text links are still too small), and the large logo at the top of the page - is a waste of precious real estate.Download -
