Google just launched a spiff new iPhone app. It's a much faster/better way to search from your iPhone. Watch the video: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008...
@Federico hai aggiornato iTunes alla 7.7? Entra nello store e cerca "App"
- Stefano Mainardi
now it's working. Ebook reader only with ebooks sold through the store? Crazy.

@Frederico not to crazy sony does the same thing with there ebook reader
- Jay Martinez
Current eReader titles / libraries will work with the eReader app. I have five years worth of titles that I've used on Windows / Windows Mobile. They will ALL work with the iPhone app. ;)
- Kevin C. Tofel
I am stoked to find eReader in there. May speed up my iPhone purchase. :)
- James Kendrick
really? How you upload them? Does it read even pdf books?
- Kurai (ff)
from twhirl
@Frederico: your library is stored on the Fictionwise server at all times, so you can just download titles you've already purchased. The app will likely have the eReader store so you can browse, buy and DL new titles. That's how it works on WinMo, so I suspect it should generally be the same.
- Kevin C. Tofel
Kevin, how do we get (existing, purchased) ebooks on to the device though? Any idea?
- John Samuelson
@John, I suspect the eReader app will let you download from your library on the Fictionwise server directly. You can do that on WinMo. I just got confirmation that we have a call with the owner of Fictionwise today so I'll have more info to share. :)
- Kevin C. Tofel
@JA Castillo I saw a Twit that said software updater may not recognize the need for the new version if you're running a beta of iTunes.
- RyanEs
@RyanEs - no beta...all the more confusing if what you say is true.
- JA Castillo
@Kevin thanks. Totally wireless eReader would be awesome.
- John Samuelson
Is the App Store only visible to those with iPhones or a Touch? I have updated to 7.7 and there is no link to the app store that I can see.
- JA Castillo
@ja castillo u can enable applications from the preferences menu, then click get more applications to see the store.
- Jay Martinez
@JA - go to prefs, General, make sure Applications is ticked.
- John Samuelson
Happy to pay. Have spent plenty over the years on Palm and Windows Mobile apps, and expect many of the iPhone apps to be superior ...
- Patrick Jordan
Definitely will pay -- always willing to support a developer's hard work.
- Gary Bacon II
I'm buying a bunch of apps as soon as they're available. What is people's problem with paying for software and thanking its developer for their time? Code doesn't write itself, at least not yet.
- David Chartier
I'm buying Twitterrific and either Super Monkey Ball or Enigmo (or both, if I can get someone to bring me an iTunes gift card from the US.) I just wonder if we'll be able to use the apps on more than one device.
- Guillermo Esteves
Heck yeah I'll pay. My buddy's company, Tapulous, has some amazing location-based social apps coming out, and they've worked their tails off on them. Got to support the developers.
- Robb Henshaw
I will for sure pay for an app that I like. I am developing applications for mobile devices and I don't like it when people steal my work.
- Stelian Iancu
I've been using it since Download Day and haven't had any problems with it at all.
- Kevin Bondelli
I started using it full time when it hit RC2. It's terrific. Faster than Safari. I limit the extensions I use though to a handful.
- Steve Rubel
i have noticed that some links that should cause ff to launch make it hang. i have to kill the process and run FF first, THEN click the link(s)
- Eric Ortega

Using it since early beta. Hogs memory, still. Crashes when loading Flash sometimes (that's a developer problem). Renders really well. 8/10 with IE 7 scoring 5.
- Mohamed J
Thanks Rob, Kevin, and Steve, that's enough to sway me forward. downloading now.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I've used it exclusively for about a month; testing life solely with a browser / no client apps. Using a ton of extensions. Experiencing a handful of daily crashes on a PC with it. Otherwise, it's fantastic for me.
- Kevin C. Tofel
Switched from Safari since release. I use maybe a half-dozen extensions. I find it slower than Safari. Causes my MacBook Air to shutdown the second core occasionally. Never happens with Safari. Still haven't switched back though.
- Jack Baty
I'm still waiting. i want all my plugins to be ready to go when i upgrade. I installed one of the late betas and it seemed good -- but having two firefox installs send a couple things (like password manager) a bit screwy
- john conroy
OBSERVATIONS: It kept all of my bookmarks, so far so good
- Jeremiah Owyang
Observation: The download went smoothly, on this PC I'm using vista.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I've absolutely loathed Firefox until this new version. Been running it in place of Opera since beta 3, I think, and it's been quite good. No crashes since RC1 for me. (Adding that I'm using it on several Vista machines; 64- and 32-bit.)
- Akiva Moskovitz
just using the normal set of plug-ins ff3 is crashing on me 4 or 5 times a day. now i'm trying to figure out which plug-in is craping the ff3 bed.
- sean808080

I have no problems with Vista, been very reliable for quite some time.
- Jeremiah Owyang
FF3 has problems with the keyboard control using Windows XP - sometimes I cannot enter text, especially in the URL-bar. In both, Windows and Mac OS X the application terminates sometimes without notification in advance. In addition, FF3 sucks a lot of resources out of my old iBook. Safari is much faster here...
- Ansgar Wollnik
+ 1 Jeremiah (I am on XP though)... I am loving FF3 - awesome!!
- Susan Beebe
There are some issues with crashing that seem to be related to Flash on OSX and I've seen a few others mention it. Hopefully they fix the issue soon, I do love the new improvements. Especially the Mac-likeness.
- Daniel Smith
Some of Addons arent working (As expected), youtube is kinda slower
- Jassim
I started using FF3 when it was in Beta. Public version is more stable IMHO. I like the overall experience of FF3. The one issue I have had in Mac OSX is that sometimes when you paste a URL in the address bar, it won't refresh and go to the site. Just sits there and does nothing. All of my favorite plugins and add ons are up and running now, which is good.
- Grant Griffiths
from twhirl
Only a few crashes, which is almost a tradition with Firefox. Surprisingly, Opera is now more stable in Ubuntu. It used to be the other way around.
- Alejandro
using the portable versions and can't get links from thunderbird open in new tab. always open in new window. anybody know the solution?
- Matthias Henze
Only other issue is the lack of a way to combine open FF windows into one like you can with Safari.
- Grant Griffiths
from twhirl
Yes - About a week after launch. It crashes too often. But I still love it.
- Russellreno
Yes I have. I've been using Firefox 3 since its RC days. Bugs? Where? I haven't had any problems.
- Corvida
I've used it since the first BETA, so I've used the buggy versions. This version has not crashed on my since the first day. It's far superior, far better on the memory, and less likely to crash.
- Ben Parr
Downloaded on the day of the launch on my mac; a couple of days later on office PC. Safari still remains my primary browser on Mac; Firefox was always the choice on Windows despite the crashes which are pretty much consistent even after the upgrade.
- Parth Awasthi
yea i got problems with gmail too. Also once in a while the url bar doesn't work
- Josiah Lau
from twhirl
It crashes more for me than FF2 does. Might be new extensions, though.
- Sarah Perez
@Sarah yeah any issues I've had are with the extensions. FF3 is running sweet and fast
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I'm getting a little mixed results. I've been a long time corporate IE user, and FF3 has some nice features. It looks like some of my early "stops" are repaired and the browser does seem faster in most situations.
