The iPad is no longer the only iDevice on which you can use GarageBand, the app that features a collection of touch instruments and makes it easy to create and record songs. Apple announced yesterday, the 1st of November, that GarageBand is now available for its other iDevices, mainly the iPhone and iPod Touch.

If you have never used the app, you can get GarageBand for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch right now. The app is available for purchase in the App Store for $4.99.
If you’re already a Garage Band user, the update which allows the app to work on the iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod Touch (3rd & 4th generation) is available as a free update.

“GarageBand on iPad has been a big hit and we think customers will love using it on their iPhone or iPod touch,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The innovative Multi-Touch interface combined with Smart Instruments makes it easy to create great sounding music, even if you’ve never studied music or played an instrument before.”

So the bottom line is that the GarageBand app is now universal and works on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.

Moving on, the second news in this article is that the iPhone 4S will launch in more countries next week. On Friday, the 11 of November, the most advanced iPhone yet will be available in the following 15 countries: Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea.

By the end of the year the iPhone 4S will be available in more than 70 countries around the world. Right now it is available in 29 countries.

In the US the iPhone 4S went on sale on the 14th of October. More than four million devices were sold in the first three days after the launch.
