Apple rolling iBooks out across iOS 4 devices, get your Winnie the Pooh now

No shock and awe here, Apple’s already given us plenty of warnings, but we thought we’d drop you a friendly note to say that if you’ve upgraded to iOS 4 early, your copy of Winnie the Pooh is flying at you right this minute. Tipsters point out that they get a notification encouraging them to download the heretofore iPad-exclusive iBooks app, though they’re finding they have to do it via their desktop iTunes client rather than over the air. Ah well, Apple’s probably being extra cautious with moving those big wooden bookshelves into the smaller dimensions of your iPhone or iPod touch. We’ve not been able to get the app running on our iPhone 3G, so perhaps this is another of those features you’re not going to be able to enjoy on older hardware — we hope it’s just us though.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
