who even cares? what are you going to do with it? write an app that prints huge text to your screen?

I imagine leaving that code in there would allow people to customize/program their own additions to the apps, something Apple (rightfully) isn't to keen on. |

| | | Yeah, apparently, they're closing out all current iPods. Might be time for a cheap Touch to give as Christmas presents.

| | lol Apple says they have 21,178 "Games and Entertaiment" Apps, compared to the DS' 3,680... what they fail to mention is that 99% are worthless.
