Posted by Fox on November 21, 2008 at 5:28 PM

With iPhone 2.1, a bug was introduced that meant links to apps in the Wireless App Store don't work in the iPhone / iPod Touch safari browser.

Posted by Fox on October 8, 2008 at 12:00 AM

I just noticed that there's a sneaky tweak to the iTunes App Store in iTunes 8.0.1 - They've removed the 'Free Apps' categories in the menu.

Apple Drops App Developer NDA

Posted by Fox on October 1, 2008 at 6:57 PM

Apple have dropped the "Non Disclosure Aggreement" that prevented iPhone and iPod Touch App Developers from discussing their relationship with other (you and I).

Bogus Reviews in the iTunes App Store

Posted by Fox on September 3, 2008 at 1:45 PM

The more time I spend digging around in the iTunes App Store, the more I am convinced that it's packed with bogus reviews of various Apps.

iDrummer iPhone Game changes name to aDrummer - But it's still shit!

Bournesoft, the develoepr behind the iDrummer game (I use the term "game" very, very loosely) have changed the name of the game to aDrummer.

Expando iPod Touch and iPhone Game Removed From Apps Chart
