That right is reserved for Metro style apps. DavidG: The distinction is that Win32/.NET apps can be listed on the store, but they can’t be purchased or installed from it.

How do you suppose they are going to allow desktop apps into the market if they can't pass the App Store certification step? Is there a different path to adding old apps to the App Store?

It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I think I'll just upgrade from my 3G to a 3GS when my contract with AT&T is up this Christmas. Thanks again for posting a great review ! Dear Code Monkey,

This was, by far, one of the most in-depth reviews regarding the features on the Iphone 4 that I wanted to know the most about.

I think I’ll just upgrade from my 3G to a 3GS when my contract with AT&T is up this Christmas.

Thanks again for posting a great review !

Solidifies lots of the things I've been hearing. I got a 3GS last year and love it, can't live without it. I was considering upgrade to the iPhone4 but I think I'll hold off... Might as well see what leaps Android can make and let my contract expire at the same time! Good review. Solidifies lots of the things I’ve been hearing.

I added http://ermau.com/?feed=rss2 manually. Also I assumed that the down arrow next to 'Keep Reading', below the graphic on the front page, meant I could scroll down the page to the text. The text below turned out not to be relevant to the graphic. Eventually I figured out that I had to click 'Keep Reading' to see more text. So I like your rant about UX, but please fix this site!
