One of the problems I’ve been having lately with the iTunes App Store is the lack of updates being rolled out. I guess Apple is a little backlogged with fixing MobileMe and approving new apps to be added to the store. Updates to apps were a likely candidate for the back-burner. But, I opened up iTunes this morning and clicked the “Check for Updates” button in the Applications section and, to my surprise, there were actual updates.
I’ve had false positives before, in which I was told there were updates, but the iTunes just went ahead and re-downloaded the 1.0 versions that I already had. This time, however, I got version 1.3.1 of Brain Challenge and version 1.1 of PhoneSaber to replace my 1.0 copy of it. And thank goodness PhoneSaber got an update because let me tell you, it was a mission-critical app for me. If it had crashed one more time while I was swinging my iPod touch around, pretending to be Mace Windu, the results could have been disasterous.
Now I just have to wait the hour it takes to sync my iPod touch with iTunes…
