Welcome to Apple, everyone! Boring, closed, buggy software for everyone that pays out the butt to get it!
I just barely (as in 10 minutes ago) sold my iPhone, and I'm headed to the T-Mobile store tomorrow to get a phone that I can actually USE for what I want to (ever tried to facebook chat/im somebody AND browse the web on the iPhone? good luck!)

Looks like it was either pulled or they took it down for some reason.

No you have not deleted it completely. There is still something left on your phone, that's why you can't get it back. I'm stuck me too with the same issue.
I do it fine all the time
And its funny how when PC users see what OS X and iLife can do they pretty much crap their pants, and then I tell them that Macs have been able to do all those things for like 5 years haha. But I guess you are right, Vista can do a lot of that, it just took them 5 years to copy it all from OS X and iLife. Microsoft is way ahead though...... in bugs. Oh wait, their software is much more expensive than Apple's too, so did you have anything to say that is actually substantiated? Welcome to being pathetic!
Hmm. That seems to fit the symptoms. I wish I could delete it completely so I could fix this. My phone has been acting a little buggy ever since I deleted this. It takes longer to sync. It took about 10-15 seconds to wake up after I took it off the charger this morning,which is usually instant.
I think this app needs an update to replace the "something left" that's still on my phone.
Yeah. FREE out the butt... And I guess Cooliris shouldn't take any responsibility for their software, either.
You've got some entitlement issues. Have fun with your new phone, though. Maybe you can get one that plays minesweeper.
If you didnt get this app feel lucky. It really messed up my phone. Either I will have to reformat my phone or wait for a fix. I hope its a fix.
I'm wondering, has everyone with problems tried to delete the app or is it still installed on your phones? I ask because I didn't notice anything wrong UNTIL I deleted it. To be fair, I had the app installed on my phone for less than an hour so there wasn't much time to analyze the effects on the rest of the phone.
My phone is still usable, and honestly, it's hard to notice anything wrong. It's just little delays with syncing and my wake up issue this morning. I've witnessed this before, as well, so I'm not sure that I can blame it entirely on this app. It still is the most direct link I can make to the issues. However, I don't think a restore would do anything for me because I did a back up after I installed (and deleted) this app.
Go to google first and turn off the "safe search" there. At least thats how you do it in Firefox. It just uses the google cookie prefs.
Below is the answer from Cooliris about the uninstall issue :
Thanks so much for installing Cooliris on your iPhone! We sincerely apologize you are experiencing this behavior. This issue stems from a known condition in the iPhone 2.1 firmware that we are triggering through our content cache. We have been in touch with Apple closely on this, and unfortunately, we're not the only application seeing this. We're currently working on a fix that avoids this bit of code until a next version of the firmware can be released. Thanks so much for your cooperation in this process, and we'll let you know when we have the update ready. We really appreciate it!

Good thing I looked in this thread. I downloaded this but didn't install, due to a strange feeling that I should check this thread. Hopefully the issue will be resolved, the ppl who installed this will have a fix, and it will be back on the app store.
The app has been fixed, and is live in the iTunes store [iTunes link]. Here's a review of Cooliris on Smoking Apples
We're happy to let you know we've just released a new version of Cooliris for iPhone that resolves the uninstall issue on Apple's firmware v.2. The new version is available at the iTunes Store and via www.cooliris.com/iphone!
If you've been following the goings on of Cooliris for iPhone for the last few days, you know about the issue with Apple's firmware v.2.1, which affected a small number of applications during the uninstall process. Fortunately, our engineers were able to figure out a workaround quickly and we were able to submit a new version to Apple. And, Apple was kind enough to expedite the approval process.
If you already have our previous version released a few days ago and want to uninstall it, please read the following instructions carefully.
Due to a bug in Apple's firmware v2.1, we do NOT recommend you delete the old Cooliris icon in the "Applications" section of the "Library" at this time. You will get a warning every time you try to sync, unless you keep the old icon in your library. If you have deleted this icon already, unfortunately, there will be no way to get rid of the sync error message unless you restore your iPhone, until Apple comes out with a fix. A few of my teammates here at Cooliris are also in the same boat as you all and are feeling a bit bummed. If you would like to be alerted when Apple has fixed this issue in its firmware, please email us at feedback@cooliris.com.
1. On the iPhone, find the Cooliris app with the old icon. This logo does NOT have the glow affect (like our new version does).
2. Press and hold the icon, and then click the 'X'.
3. When prompted, hit the "Delete" button.
Thanks, again. We apologize for any inconveniences, and hope you fully enjoy our newest version of Cooliris for iPhone.
Warmest regards,
Jenny & The Cooliris Team

Okay. I wanted the new "glowing" version and deleted the old one on the iPhone (and not in iTunes) as described by the manufacturer of Cooliris above. Then I've got the new version via iTunes. That seemed to work. Tried a sync then, but the new app didn't show up on the iPhone. Tried another sync ==> nada.
And I have two entries of "Cooliris" (with checkmarks) in my iTunes app library now. What shall I do now? Uncheck one of the two? Both? None?
Edit: Shut down the iPhone and restarted, automatic sync ==> Now the glowing icon shows up on iPhone and the app seems to work. But I still have two entries of Coloris with checkmarks in iTunes app library.

What happened to MY ability to delete Apps at will? They should ban "Cooliris" from future apps, until this piece of crap can be taken off my iTunes and my MBA...
Now I have to make an appointment with the Apple Store this afternoon; so much for my Football Party BBQ at my house!!!
Dead in the water...

You canceled a party to go to the Apple Store? Why would you do that?
