you will need to ftp into your touch and delete the folder demoapp.app (I think thats the folder name) from /applications and it will be gone.

Instead of deleting it I find it easier to just hide it with "Customize" or "Poof". That's just me though.

cbrain, the demo app is 100% useless, it dosent even say "Hello World!"... Whats the point of it anyway?

Could that App be used to loop a video on the Touch, like it does on the iPhone?

If you have a H.246 encoded .mov file and you place into private/var/root or private/var/mobile that video will continuously loop in portrait mode, regardless of whether the app is on the home screen. (I found that info on TUAW.)

Cool, never knew that! I knew there was a way to to it on iPod Classics and Nanos though.

So how come the ones in the shop dont have a looping video? :confused:

I'm certainly not knocking anyone, but it just blows me away that people are re-flashing their firmware yet don't know what FTP is...just amazing.

If you're referring to how I didn't want to delete my DemoApp, I have SSHed into my iPod plenty of times and done plenty of things. I'd just rather leave DemoApp there, it's small, it doesn't really make a difference whether it's there or not.
