Expedia: Travel can be totally stressful, so the easier it is to book everything the better. Now Expedia will let you book both hotels and flights in the same app. (The old version was just hotels). On to your next vacation! Free

Where to Wee: Last week I was in San Francisco and I had to pee so badly and spent what felt like decades searching for a bathroom. This would have answered my bladder woes—an app that tells you where there are free public restrooms in cities all over the world. Free

Scratch Hard: Scratch off lottery tickets are fun but you never win more than a pound, it seems. This app will at least give you some kind of pay day, in the form of scratch off discounts for nearby stores. Free

 Apple released an update to iOS 6.0, a fix that quashes a few bugs and gives the iPhone 5 the ability to receive wireless software updates.

To install the update, you can either launch iTunes and update your iPhone there, or update wirelessly. To do that, go to the Settings menu and tap “Software Update,” where iPhone 5 users will first be asked to download an updater for iPhone 5. This enables the wireless updates to be installed.

 iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users who are already using iOS 6 can get the update by going to Settings, then General, then “Software Update.”

If you tap “Learn More” on either phone, a screen appears with the following text describing the bugs that have been fixed:

This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:

• Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air
• Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard
• Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off
• Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks
• Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
• Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match
• Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen
• Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings

When you want to download and install the update, after a quick user agreement confirmation, the update begins. We especially like the animated gears turning while the update downloads.

The most noticeable of these bugs for us is the one that causes strange static and horizontal lines going across the screen when we’ve downloaded a new app and are asked to type our Apple password.

A search for “iPhone-5“ on Apple’s website leads to the above documents. Seems pretty conclusive? Right?The name of the new product appears to be “iPhone 5″.The current page cannot be found, but we are fairly certain it will be available in a few hours.Thanks, Vlad!

The search engine also revealed a new iPod touch and nano today (but you already knew that, right?)
