Apple will unveil updates today to the software that powers the iPhone. iPhone owners are hoping Apple addresses one of the few gripes about the device: limited multi-tasking. There's no way right now to run more than one program at a time, except for a select few, and those are mostly Apple's own programs. Any changes to the iPhone will also show up on the iPad because they run on the same software. But the updates probably won't be available for a few months.

Apple announces new updates to the popular smart phone today.iPad AdjustmentsThe iPad is getting high marks as a media device. It's great for watching movies, checking e-mail and playing games. But as Nick Bilton of the New York Times explains, people are not as comfortable using it with tools such as word processing and spreadsheets.
"Some of the productivity suites, people are having a little bit of trouble with because it's a brand new interface," Bilton wrote. "You're literally using something that you probably used for many, many years on a touch-screen device with a pop-up keyboard, and it's designed for that touch-screen device, so to get used to it actually takes a little bit of work."

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters Life!) - Producers of a Islamic reality TV show which set out to find the best young Muslim leader are hoping other Muslim countries will adopt the program's format after a successful first series in Malaysia.Religious scholar Muhammad Asyraf Ridzuan, 26, from Penang, was named the winner of Malaysia's "Imam Muda" or "Young Imam" show during Friday's live finale, beating 27-year-old religious teacher Hizbur Rahman to the top slot.
The 10-episode, prime time program sought to stimulate interest in Islam among the young and create some modern role models for them by combining a reality TV format with traditional religious teachings.
The show attracted interest in Malaysia and overseas as the good-looking contestants dressed in sharp-looking black suits recited verses from the Koran, sang religious hymns, washed corpses and slaughter sheep according to Muslim rules, and counseled promiscuous young Malaysians.
As the last man standing, Asyraf won a scholarship to the Al-Madinah University in Saudi Arabia, a job as a cleric at a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, a car, an iPhone, an all-expenses paid pilgrimage to Mecca, and a cash prize.

Asyrak said he was delighted "not about me being the champion, but I felt happy the moment this programme had reached the ears around the world."
"All the "Imam Muda" participants are very satisfied as our target is not about individual success, but our target is the success of the community, the success of youths and success of Islam itself," he told reporters.
More than 1,000 Malaysians auditioned for the show but only 10 candidates were selected to battle for the young imam title, based on their understanding and practice of Islamic teachings.
Imams are tasked with leading prayers and sorting out community problems at mosques in Malaysia where more than 60 percent of the 28 million population are Muslim.
For the show Asyraf and the other contestants had to live an austere life away from families for three months, with no TV, Internet or phones and following strict learning schedules with prominent Islamic preachers.
