This has being happening since I went to FW 2.0, but I am annoyed by it now
Same with my Touch, it used to backup instantly now it seems like a much longer process on 2.0

a caveat about the instapaper app i just mentioned, it doesn't work with password sites like nytimes.com. i found out when i tried to save the obama op-ed for later reading. sucks, since that's the site i'd most likely need instapaper for.
other than this though, ipod touch people really should check it out. when you've got no wifi around it's perfect.

It does not matter. For some reason though I would get iTunes first if I was in your position though, as you be updating the Touch through iTunes. However, I think the Touch would ask to update regardless of what version of iTunes you have so like I said it really does not matter.
If you worried about breaking something, then don't as everything is foolproof.

I really hope a good source for iPhone games reviews arrives. Heck, not even reviews... just solid coverage. Of what's out already and what is coming soon. So many games are getting randomly released already that it's going to be impossible to keep up with worthwhile releases. The fact that a page or two ago someone mentioned there is an iPhone version of De Blob which I would have never known about had it not been because of him or her, it's quite strange.
When are people going to start bitching that the app store is a mess of bad games like Xbox Live? :lol

I was all set to love this thing, but apparently you can't add pages through the wifi on your iPod, you need to do it on your actual computer? That kind of kills the point of it for me.
And on top of that it seems theres no way to delete pages within the app once you've added them through your computer.

you can save a page from your iPod, you just have to have that bookmark they gave you on the website when you signed up.
But yeah, you have to delete entries from the website. They sjould change that in a new version.

Best app so far is Pandora radio.
Nothing even comes close.
My only complaint about it is that it takes up so much of the RAM it won't let you do anything else on your iPod

No true multitasking, but you can have music playing in the background while you do something else. That's probably why there's natural expectation that custom music players, like the Pandora app, would do the same.tetsuoxb said:

I've seen a few mentions of a game called Code Runner in this thread that's free, but I can't find it in the App Store. Did it get removed already?
I think that name is a typo, and they mean "Cube Runner." The game is still up, but it's boring. YMMV.Kung Fu Jedi said:

As for Pandora: The app is nice, and works well over EDGE, but it has some basic usability problems which are screwing me up:
1) When you're using the iPod feature in the iPhone, clicking the microphone button pauses the music...and I've had a year to get used to that behavior. When I was listening to Pandora, I wasn't expecting it to function in the background, but when someone stopped by my desk to talk to me, I reached for the clicker to pause the music...and instead of pausing the music, it invoked the iPod application (!) causing Pandora to exit (!!!). This all makes sense, but now I have to remember whether I was listening to Pandora or to the iPod so that I know what to do when I need to pause the music, which is bad usability. Further, I'm not sure there is anything that can be done, unless the application can somehow trap the microphone button to execute a "pause" command within the app, rather than going to iTunes. Does the SDK even allow that kind of access?
2) When you skip tracks, there is often a long delay while the music is ostensibly buffering. However, there is no visual feedback indicating that the application is still working, leaving the user to wonder whether or not anything is happening -- it seems "frozen" until all of a sudden, music comes back on.
3) If you're listening to a stream and the screen locks, the music continues to play. However, if you pause the music and the screen locks, trying to restart the stream seems to cause it to crash most of the time: after you unlock the screen and press "play," there is a long delay which has forced me to force quit out of the application (press/hold Home button for 6 seconds) to get control back. (I'm assuming it's hung since pressing Home by itself doesn't immediately bring me back to the home screen.) However, there was at least one time where it didn't hang -- music eventually resumed after 30+ seconds, but during that time, it seemed to be "frozen" as with #2 above.
I'm hoping they update the application in the future to address some of this stuff, but even with the flaws, it's still great. It also didn't seem to eat up a lot of battery, even over EDGE.

Seems decent enough for $4.99
It looks like a 16-bit RPG. I've never played the oringal, but it looks like a slightly less detailed shining Force. A single tap will move the guy to where you've touched. A double tap will make the guy run in that direction.
It has it's own ingame menu for using items, saving, volume etc
The fight screens have "new" graphics (can be switched back to the original graphics on the settings menu). You select the command and touch the appropriate enemy.
It has it's own settings under the iPhone Settings icon, you can switch off Audio, change character names and turn on Hard mode
There's an FMV at the start too, but I skipped it...

I love the idea of bringing old school RPGs to the Touch, but man that game has an ugly UI. The contrast between the slick, black glass, the retro graphics, and the... font, it's pretty brutal.
Not something that would make or break the game but if any other devs are thinking about porting their retro games please look at this as how NOT to make them look.
