That maybe true, but what if the developer pulls his app off iTunes or closes down or changes the app from free to $$ ? mmm. Apps will probably be treated more like software. “I do believe that all Apps you buy can be downloaded again, free of charge.”

At one point, I finally went back to 'basics' and did a 'Restore' on the iPhone - in the process of trying to get iCal, AddressBook and Mail all synced between the three machines. Just for the benefit of the uninitiated, every time you download music or an iPhone App to the iPhone, then plug the iPhone into the Mac (to re-charge the battery say), everything that you have downloaded to the iPhone from the 'Cloud' gets moved onto the Mac as part of your 'iPhone Backup'. So, when I did the 'Restore' it went something like this (totally unassisted by the way), 1) Mac downloads the latest version of iPhone software. 2) Erases the iPhone, 3) reformats the iPhone memory 4) Opens, un-compresses and installs the iPhone 2.0 software, 5) restores EVERYTHING from the iPhone Backup on the Mac... This was one of those rare occassions when everything went flawlessly. The only thing missing from my iPhone after the Restore was the iPhone didn't know where it was located. Had to do a 'Search' (which took 3-4 minutes) while the GPS relocated itself on the may. Other that that it went 100% FINE!!
