I noticed last night when I did my semi-daily app updates that the Update All button was no longer a choice in the App Store. I’m guessing that the small change was made as part of the 2.0.2 firmware, but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.

The Update mechanism has drawn fire in the past from those that exerience various issues. I personally have had the phone big way down or have trouble completing an update of multiple apps.

I’ve also had problems viewing ANYTHING in the App Store while installing or updating other apps. That problem seems to be better after the firmware update.

On a side note, what do you think Apple’s motive us for not listing what’s in a firmware update? Seems pretty ridiculous to me to not tell about new features or specific bug fixes. I know that they do the same thing with other software including OS X updates, but it doesn’t make sense there either.

Just a quick post to share a VERY humorous item I ran across.  I just used the Mail portion of the MobileMe web apps and typed a message.  It performs a spell check automatically before sending and I was extremely amused when it didn’t recognize “iPhone”.

That’s right - Apple’s BRAND NEW service and collection of web apps, MobileMe, doesn’t even recognize the name of APPLE’s hottest product!

Too funny!
