We previously covered an issue apparently caused by iPhone OS 2.0.2 in which some third-party applications crash or do not launch, for many users. We’ve now received reports indicating that the problem is almost universally eliminated by reducing the number of applications installed on the iPhone.

“The upgrade to 2.0.2 has made my iPhone 3G go from a completely inoperable 3G mode (had to be kept off or disabled), to be pleasingly functional (all things considered). In testing since the upgrade, I find that flat out “No Service” at my home has now shifted to 1-2 bars 3G.”

Its a preview of a new application that is being put out by Imaginuity New Media. The Misadventures Of Rocky Artue is an arcade style side scroller game built exclusively for the Apple iPhone.

Wuh oh - It’s the G4 Cube all over again. Less than a month after launch, attentive iPhone 3G users have begun to notice nasty little cracks showing up along the edges of the plastic rear casing.

Fresh rumors abound of imminent iPod updates, with suggestions that Apple are looking to retire or refresh much of their current PMP range.  AppleInsider has heard from Target employees that the product status for all current iPod models has changed from “active” to “discontinued” on their stock management system; meanwhile, UK retailer Argos is apparently preparing to launch an iPod sale, with display materials already reaching stores. 

According to 9to5Mac, and their manufacturing sources in Asia, the new iPod nano models will see storage capacity double and new features added.  They’ll also be multicolored, say the tipsters, although it’s unclear as to whether that will be a new addition to the color range or, less likely perhaps, a complete replacement.

Verbose Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has been lending his voice to the rumor mill too, suggesting that, while significant physical hardware changes are unlikely, the entry level iPods will get a storage bump.  He also expects a price cut for the iPod Touch, bringing it to a $199 price point.

“Specifically, we believe Apple will increase the capacity of the iPod shuffles as well as the iPod nanos (but maintain current price points); redesigned form factors for the shuffles and nanos are unlikely.  We believe the iPod touch may be redesigned and may enter the $199 price point, in line with the iPhone” Gene Munster, analyst, Piper Jaffray

Right now, you can check out what your Xbox Live friends are up to from your phone, but you can't actually manage your friends list from any of the mobile Live apps (and Xbox Live Anywhere has gone MIA again). But the developer of one of the better ones, 1337pwn, says that Microsoft has made a change to the site that makes it possible to add friends remotely, and he thinks "that we can get it working," though he's not making any promises yet. Now if Microsoft would just lift that damn 100 friends limit so you actually could add more friends. [MTV Multiplayer]
