Oo-er, that is a bit ace

Really simple and really addictive gameplay. It's genius. Looks great too.

When is it out for the iPhone ?

Dumb question time - if I download an e-book from Waterstones, can I convert it using Stanza or Calibre to use on an iPod Touch?

It's drm'd so no. Not without removing the drm

Looking good but "The violence wars in the space" ? Class Actually the whole language thing is rather good - I hope they dont change it.

I knew it couldn't be that easy... Thanks for the information.

Where do you find your e-books, I'm finding the suggestion sites from Stanza a little slim on offerings (at least, for the things I might want to read) and was wondering if theres anywhere with a wider selection...

Let's see how obsolete they're going to make the touch I got last week!

[HGFB]

Very.

64GB of flash, that's getting quite a lot!

And the classic iPod gets about 30s of love, poor thing!

Spotted three annoyances in the OS 3.1 update:

1) the double-click on the home button to bring up the music control only works if the music is currently playing. This means that if some game stupidly pauses my music when I run it, even though I have the game's sound turned off, I can only start my music playing again by quitting from the game and running the iPod app - then it gets paused again if I return to the game - meaning I can no longer play such games whilst listening to my own music. (Previously I could just double-click the home button and unpause the music.)

2) The long press on the home button to terminate an application no longer works. Now the only way to escape from a hung application is to reset the entire device.

3) This may be an app issue rather than an OS issue, but I've found two different shopping list apps - one of which I use a lot, and has been rendered essentially useless to me by this - in which the drag-and-drop to manually sort the list no longer works. (It just scrolls the screen instead.)

On the plus side, the weak wifi issue that appeared with OS 3.0 seems to have improved, and it may be wishful thinking but I think maybe the battery life (also hit by OS 3.0) has improved a bit.

It would appear that the 3.1 update closes the door on the naughty o2 tethering trick - beware.
