Damn, that's a way to lose customers.

Prolly a software snafu. suspect it will be fixed soon euogh.

It's because I'm no longer doing quality control for Apple. Isn't it?

where will they go wrong next!

lets watch

And People look at me funny when I tell them I don't like Apple, or Apple products...

Oh, well...

It works on my 3rd gen Touch, though it's rather flaky about actually opening books. Sometimes it takes a couple times to get it to open a book without an error.

The Kindle app is still superior, if only because anything you buy from Amazon can also be read on Windows, Mac, Blackberry, Android (coming soon) or even an actual Kindle.

I've been using an app called Stanza, and it works really well, too.

Apple's rejected apps that had fewer problems than iBooks.

I Just heard they not going to put Flash in Apple Ipod so that another way to lose customers too

For a while Steve's health has been declining and I have a feeling he's paying less and less attention to what's going on. I'm hoping this is just the transition period as he sets up people to take over and they're making normal mistakes in order to become capable leaders.

I hope that's all it is, because so far 2010 has been nothing but one misstep after another.

This is starting to make me want to jailbreak my Iphone 3G.

If you've got a 3G, you've already got access to the features that apple was denying me.

Ah, I just meant in general ^_^

But... but... according to their commercials, Apple products never ever crash, mess up, get viruses, or have any problems whatsoever. Only PC's can have these problems. </brainwashed>

2nd-gen 16MB touch, here....

iBooks downloaded and ran successfully, even added a couple extra books-- Not like I REALLY needed it, as, like you, I use Stanza... :)

Although it would've been nice to have background wallpaper and multitasking, it doesn't bother me as much that I don't worry about it...and I'm a radio nut, so you can guess what the bulk of my apps are....

I wanted folders. :)

Help was nonexistent, so I had to find a Macworld blog to figure out how to do it.... Now I have my radio apps arranged by country. :)

iOS4 support in apps is lacking-- Unlike the updates for 3.1/iPad (3.2), where appmakers were given plenty of advance to prepare iOS4-compliant apps-- Apple did drop the ball on this part of it. So far, one app thinks it's on an iPad (EleMints), several have crashed, and so forth....

iOS4 has already proved to be more stable than 3.1.2/3.1.3 (which the latter has gone through 4 restores, and I was STILL restoring my music and Stanza libraries before iOS4 came out after the last one), and loaded perfectly on the first try.....though it took 8 hours for backup and restore. (Unlike previous versions, iOS4 requires a clean wipe of the iPod to be installed over old versions.)

Verdict: Good enough for "free", better than previous versions, not really all that much new on a small 2G iPod touch, folders are limited (12 apps per), a bit tedious in maintaining, but GREAT, appmakers should've gotten more of a heads-up, iBooks is good, but redundant (pretty bookshelf, though!).... Overall, OK, but not "gee whiz" spectacular....

One nice thing about Stanza and iOS4: Ya don't need the desktop Stanza anymore to transfer ebooks- Just go to the Apps tab in your iPod window of iTunes, and go down to the bottom half, where it says for apps that can transfer between your iPod and computer, click Stanza, and click "Add" to add ebooks. :)

Apple, however, is REALLY falling down over Apple TV, though

Apple DOES need a new direction, and they REALLY do need to shore up their cred of late... :(

d.m.f.

(Edit: 16GB... My mother kept talking to me about something that doesn't matter to me..)

Who is John Galt? The Producer Price Index has increased by about 20% in the past year, but the manufacturers can't pass these increased costs on to the consumers, mostly due to continuing high unemployment. So what happens? Quality assurance goes to hell. Its going to get worse. *hugs*
