Havent they already broken the 2.0 firmware while it was in beta? I'm guessing it will happen again.

 

[celebi23]

Can't fucking wait. Bring it on Good thing I still have about an $11 credit on my iTunes account :lol

As a Touch user, will I have to pay Apple for the firmware to be able to buy games from them?

How the heck did they get away with a blatant ripoff of super monkey ball? (the 2nd video)

Yes, you will need to buy firmware 2.0

 

[panda21]

rolando looks like a huge locoroco rip off, its not by the same people is it?

wonder if me.com will launch today as well

 

[jacf29]

Holy shit. They've got Pandora Radio as an app? That's it. I'm getting one first thing on Friday.

Pandora is available for many different types of phones.

Edit: now if they have an imeem app it will be amazing.

 

[Khalid-S]

If you have updated your iTunes you will find "App Icon" under library. Click on "Get More Apps" and you will see all the apps and games. You can even purchase them before updating you iPhone/iPod Touch. Just bought Twitterrific for Free.

Enjoy.

Well it isn't too likely Sony made an iPhone game, no. And really it only seems to be the visual design which is ripped off, the game looks pretty different in a lot of respects (and unfortunately, despite the ripped off visuals, the style still manages to suck :-\).

 

[kottila]

Yes, you will need to buy firmware 2.0

Well, if I'm to judge by the speed they launch this stuff in Europe (still no moviedownloads), this will never be an issue for me. Anyone know if this is coming out in Europe soon?

 

[PSGames]

nm a quick search answered my question!

 

[Flunkie]

Aqua Forest is just like OE CAKE on PC. I love playing around with OE CAKE.

Edit: LOL they want me to pay $8 for it?

The prices arent set by apple, they are done by the developers of each title. So im guessing hudson want you to give em $9 !

It's already up in Europe. The iPhone and touch are sold here too you know?

[Gowans]

Just had a look through some of the games, some nice simple stuff and some absoulte garbage on there that they want money for.

Lets hope customers help shape this and the expected pricing policy the right way at early doors.

 

[Captain N]

I'll be ordering Super Monkey in just a minute.

Yeah. The same with the other apps. There are some flashlight apps that you have to buy that there is also one for free. Same for a nice "To do list" app.

Its great of Apple to highlight the free apps tho, but I bet some guys will get a few quid for some of there efforts early on (if not just from the people reviewing them).

The location apps that let you find other people nearby, take pics and tag them with the GPS and the virtual graphiti apps should be really interesting.

it willbe interesting to see how fast the catalog grows. I hope it will be fast and that there will be alot more free stuff. I mean there already was alot of stuff being developed for the jailbroken phones.

yeah I expect the next month to be interesting and a lot of the apps falling away to the best free options.

As is only $100 hopefully the jailbreak app writers should be able to port there stuff over nicely.

 

[kennah]

Is this available in Canada yet? I can't find it in the store.

Try searching for AOL in the store or click on the Apps tab and then on more Apps.

 

[Captain N]

iTunes took forever to update! I won't be able get any APPs until tonight at 8 or 9.

 

[panda21]

[evlcookie]

Nope. Guessing it doesnt come out till the 11th. Not sure if they are going to follow each countries time or what.

 

[$h@d0w]

I have a feeling most of these games are going to be like -

[lucius]

Windows Explorer (process Id:1756)

[Jonnyram]

Do the games have demos?

 

[infiniteloop]

Columns, yay!

 

[nofi]

Do the games have demos?

No, not that I can see. =(

 

[panda21]

sounds like we're getting mobileme too to coincide with 2.0

http://gizmodo.com/5023714/mobileme-is-up

 

[Silly.Mikey]

When is the 2.0 update coming out for Touch?

 

[roosters93]

So when 2.0 is broken... does that mean you could buy apps on the Store and also have apps from Installer?

 

[Deleted member 284]

If I download the games on my computer, can I access the games on my iPhone at a different location? If so, then I don't see the purpose for getting a 16 gig.

The games need to be on your iPhone. That's the entire point of the App store so that we ar eno longer stuck with shitty web apps.

 

[Deleted member 284]

But how do I back up my games?

 

[Xater]

But how do I back up my games?

They are on your PC too. It's just like buying music on iTunes.

 

[winnarps]

Wish this had released last night...

Now I gotta sit through a whole day of work before I can jump in.

Awesome stuff though.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Aqua Forest uses the Octave Engine, which is made by crazy Japanese mad scientists who love particle systems. Octave Engine is rad.

OUCH at the frame rate it's getting on the iPhone though

 

[roosters93]

Aqua Forest looks fuckin awesome.
