In March, the folks in Cupertino released Apple Configurator, a Mac app that allows for someone to administer many iOS devices at a time like in a school or business (or a 9to5mac editor’s house) setting. This evening the application has been updated with a slew of features, including support for new iOS 6 features, iMessage, iBookstore, GameCenter, and for configuring advanced network options on Apple TV. If you have many iOS devices under your watch on a daily basis, you may want to check out this update. [Mac App Store]
