The iOS provides us the facility to run several programs on our device at the same time but some time you may wonder how to uninstall/remove a particular app that you don’t like. In few simple steps I will show you how easily you can close (or quit) any program running on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

Step 1. Go to the home screen of your iPad and press your finger on the particular icon or application you wish to delete/uninstall until all the icons on your home screen start to wiggle.

Step 2. Once they start wiggling a “X”symbol will appear at the upper left hand corner of the icon you wish to remove.

Step 3. To delete an app, tap on the “X” symbol and you’ll be asked for you confirmation to delete the app.

Step 4. After tapping on the Delete button, you will then be asked to rate the app. Doing this will finally remove the app.

This particular app will appear unchecked in the devices Apps synchronization screen when you reconnect your device to iTunes. In case in the future you want the app back, simply put a checkmark in the Apps Synchronization screen in iTunes and synch again.

California-based Apple will begin sales of its white iPhone 4 on Thursday. The phone, already delayed by production problems, will be sold at Apple's online and physical stores, AT&T and Verizon stores, and other retailers.

"The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it's beautiful," Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement. "We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right."

Initially the company planned to sell both black and white versions of the device at the time of its release in June 2010. But in a statement is said the white iPhone was more challenging to manufacture than expected. Apple never talked about the challenges, but speculation about paint that peeled under heat and problems with sensors reacting to the lighter shade circulated online.

Other than the color, the new version is similar in appearance and function as its black counterpart, running on Apple's A4 processor. The new white iPhone for will be available for $199 or $299 depending on the model. The model comes with a Retina display and a front-facing camera for FaceTime video chatting.
