iTunes 7.7 and AppStore
July 11th, 2008 | by hantu |When I was reading Rafif’s tweets earlier today, I found out that iTunes 7.7 is available through Software Update. Expecting AppStore to be available through this iTunes update, I downloaded and installed the new iTunes.
I have only browsed through the AppStore to look at applications that I might be interested in, and of course, I downloaded a few free ones.
Currently I am waiting for the iPod Software Update 2.0 to be available through iTunes. According to MacRumors [1], iPhone 2.0 Firmware is already available through a specific link. Please note that it is not for iPod Touch!
So without anything better to do at the moment, I am doing some “window shopping” on iTunes:
Facebook (Cost: Free)
Not overly excited with this one, since their mobile interface is pretty decent. I wanted to see what they are offering that beats the mobile interface.
Remote (Cost: Free)
I think Remote extended the ability of Apple Remote (which I have never really used). You can control iTunes or Apple TV, see the album artwork on Remote, and amazingly - it can be done over the Wi-Fi network!
Twitterrific (Cost: Free/$12.99)
The good people at Iconfactory offers two different versions of Twitterrific on AppStore. If you don’t know what’s Twitterrific, you don’t know what’s Twitter. Twitter is a micro-blogging social network. The free version of Twitterrific is free, that comes with advertisements; while the Premium version that has no advertisement costs $12.99.
Things (Cost: $12.99)
A task manager for your iPhone, or iPod Touch. I need this, I keep forgetting things.
Super Monkey Ball (Cost: $12.99)
If you followed Jobs’ keynote during WWDC, you might have seen this demo, and wet your pants (I did! I even got the game on Wii). Control the little monkeys using the accelerometer (if you don’t know what’s this, you don’t know iPhone/iPod Touch at all) through 5 worlds and 110 stages! Powerful use of the accelerometer!
Enigmo (Cost: $12.99)
This game was one of the demo during Jobs’ WWDC keynote. Your task is to direct the water droplets to where they are supposed to be.
Bomberman Touch “The Legend of Mystic Bomb” (Cost: $9.99)
The last time I played Bomberman was, many many years ago. This version of Bomberman on iPhone/iPod Touch makes me want to quickly find out how they implement the gameplay, with the features of the handheld devices.
So, about time to spend more money, don’t forget the 2.0 Firmware update for iPod Touch will cost you!
