iBooks and Find My iPhone Get Minor Updates

Two of Apple’s iOS apps have received minor updates with some interesting new functionality.

Find My iPhone has been bumped to version 1.2, with better offline options:

•When you are unable to locate a device because it is is offline, you will receive an email if the device comes online and is located.
• Ability to remove an offline device from the list using the app.

iBooks is now at 1.3, and can read aloud to you:

iBooks 1.3 adds several new features and improvements:
• Help your children learn to read with the new read-aloud feature included in select children’s books from the iBookstore.
The read-aloud feature uses a real narrator to read the book to you, and in some books, it will even highlight the words as you read along.
• Enhanced books can now automatically play audio or video included with the book.
• Makes iBooks more responsive when opening very long books.
• Addresses an issue where some books may display the same page twice.

Both apps are still as free as a bird.
