Forward With iOS 7, iPad Replaces Flight Bags, Apple Store Russia

Apple has been moving forward this week on software plans announced at its developers conference. There are reports that the second beta of iOS 7 has been released, with support for both the iPad and iPhone. They have also started testing iWork for iCloud by inviting all Apple employees to try the new web-based versions of the apps.
American Airlines completed its transformation to using iPads in place of flight bags across its entire fleet. Following them will be Jet Blue which announced similar plans just yesterday. Using iPads instead of heavy flight bags will save space, paper and fuel.
In other news, Apple extended the online Apple Store to cover Russia this week. There is no official retail store in the country, and up until now anyone wanting Apple products would have to buy them from third parties.
