first thing I've noticed, downloaded apps all have rounded corners. Some (like Dizzy Bee) used to be square.

Done. Safari seems snappier!

Pretty much every app that has released an update now shows up as having an update available for me, even the apps that were actually updated on the phone. Hopefully this is fixes the update problems.

I've been having quite a few problems with iTunes... crashing, no audio, iPhone things. Hopefully this fixes some of those things. The amount of problems this whole iPhone 2.0 software is causing is ridiculous.

Began a sync of the phone. BoxOffice has been "updating" for about the last 7 minutes. Ridiculous.

updated versions of apps still doesn't delete older versions. i hope this isn't by design.

In Finder, look in the mobile apps folder in your itunes folder.

issue fixed!

7.7.1 seems to have fixed jittery playback of internet streams through Airtunes for me! The bug appeared in 7.5 and persisted through 7.7. Late is better than never, I guess.

That's slightly stupid. Guess I'll go in and delete the old ones...

itunes is still reporting incorrect number of updates available for me. and it also reports there's updates available for apps that i've already updated.

Okay, I'm going to trust you guys. But, the last three "updates" to iTunes totally screwed me. A lot of the movies I ripped won't play, even though they did pre-"update." I imagine they still won't...

Here goes nothin'.
