For those app developers that don’t know Objective-C and Cocoa Touch and don’t want to outsource development, check out localbeacon (an iphone app builder) at http://www.bigforge.com. Great for those who want to build just one app or developers interested in white label.

Full integration of Twitter and Facebook so users won’t have to leave your app to post.

I saw an reprint of a PC World article about iPhone annoyances including unwanted standard apps on the home page screen. They recommended moving the ones you don’t want to the last page of apps so at least they are out of sight. How do we do that? Thanks.

The copyright notice has nothing to do with Apple or iTunes, it's a section about Dolby Labs.

If you do a Help/About in v8.2 it has the same info.

That is no proof of it being fake.

Its fake. Look at the trademark it says 1992-2001

Sort by most used, would be ok – as long as it prompts for changes, otherwise apps will be popping up all over the place, and also new apps would alwas b near the back. But it’s good Apple is doing something about it, hope it’s out in September!

I love Last.fm! I hope they implement it so I can see what all my friends are listening to.

One more reason to ban it from the Corporate desktop.

It seems Apple is hell bent on keeping the Iphone out of corporate offices. Almost as if Bleckberry wrote their script for them.

Isn’t that what the Palm Pre Web OS does?

@Mike, copyright dates are always strange.

Any one notice the copyright is ’92-’01?

@Chris Vitek – I second that. While I probably won’t keep them in that order, I’d rather start there than alphabetical.

Still no sort by most used? Bummer.

It looks to me like they made a playlist called Social.

This sounds like the iLike iTunes integration application that they currently have available. Social interaction? Meh! Not in my iTunes application. I like listening to my music in privacy. If I want someone to know what I’m listening to, I’ll post it on Facebook.

The “Social” category has a music note. Maybe it’s some kind of way to let your friends know what your listening too? Although that’s kinda weird.
