Having used Touch 2.0, I managed not to install everything I found in AppStore. Majority of which is crap anyway - people are still learning how to use the platform properly. Pretty soon though, all those flashlights, tip calculators and similar pointless-ware will be replaced by apps that make sense. I hope. Just for the reference: here is my iTunes snapshot as of today: Some applications are pure time killers (when waiting in line and there is signal to read news online) but some are actually very useful.

I just noticed strange thing: it is most likely unrelated, but it happened right after installing 2.0.2 firmware. The count of updates for AppStore applications is pretty chaotic. You can see different number of updates when looking into different parts of iTunes. I have noticed this cycle repeating for 9 updates, then 8 and so on - here is how it looked when I got down to 3 un-updated apps after few rounds.

It is sooo simple: 1) Run the app you want to get screenshot of 2) Press the home button at the same time as On button. Screen will flash white for a sec 3) Find the picture saved in your photos. This is second amazing thing I have found out about iPhone in last few days. First was hidden button on the headphone mike that can start/stop running iPod music, pick up the ringing phone or (doubleclick) advance to next song.

After carrying in my pocket for 3 days, I have decided to get something to prevent my smallest Mac from scratches and breaking when drops (I did drop the iPod touch and it was close call: one of the edges was scratched and slightly damaged). It took some time to decide, but at the end I settled for this one: In white, of course. It is a bit tricky to put it on, but it feels very solid and does not slip.

This may be a random event, but here is what happened: 1) Switch on camera and and take couple of pictures 2) While camera still on in taking pictures mode, switch off the phone (by the switch on top). After doing that, about 1.5 hour later I took out the phone to check the emails. Phone was very warm - not the kind of unpleasantly hot you get from Macbook Pro battery when rendering movie on batery power , but still much warmer than ever.
