The 12 Days of Christmas third free gift from Apple arrived this morning: Halftone 2. I already had the original Halftone and this is one of my favourite apps. I will look forward to trying this other version.

We have now had:

• Tunes from Justin Timberlake, live at the iTunes Festival in London
• A game called Tiny Thief

I link to the iTunes store in Thailand and it would appear that not all countries have the same gifts from Apple. This is implied in the conditions; but there was a confirmation in an item by Richard Devine who reports on iMore that the Day 2 gift for those in the UK was Kalahari: an episode of the BBC series, Africa. Lucky them. Users in Thailand had Tiny Thief. Lucky us.
