Quick App Updates: Facebook 3.02, QuickOffice 1.4, i.TV 2.0
Facebook 3.02, i.TV 2.0, and QuickOffice 1.4 — among many others, no doubt — have just hit the App Store, and what do they bring to the iPhone this time around?
Facebook 3.02 [Free - iTunes link] contains the obligatory bug fixes as well as VoiceOver support. Very nice!
QuickOffice 1.4 [$14.99 - iTunes link] now provides support for creating and editing Microsoft Office 2007 Word and Excel files (DOCX and XLSX)
i.TV 2.0 [Free - iTunes link] offers a slew of new features, including remote control frameworks, push notification, and more.
If you update, let us know what you think!
[Thanks to everyone who sent these in!]

Nice, but where the heck is Navigon 1.2?
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 pm
i.TV has a great update, nice improvements to the UI, and push notifications is a nice addition, Facebook, great as always, but I have a problem with the main menu screen, random black bar at the bottom =s.

Oh, no… not another unusually-quick approval of Facebook… A LOT of developers must be even more furious now…
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I got the same problem that mashono mention with Facebook. My homepage is out of frame. I restarted and nothing.
If anyone figure this out please let me know.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:14 pm
wha is VoiceOver support?
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I have to say the i.TV update is SwEEt for TiVo users. I love how TiVo functions are built right into the UI. I am hoping for the next update to somehow incorporate Facebook & Twitter sharing… Apple it’s been 4 wks where is my Minigore update!!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Facebook homepage is offset (out of frame!) just as others have mentioned here. WTF.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Correct, Facebook homepage is not displaying correct there’s a lot of space under.
This just sucks!

Hewitt already said re-install the app
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I downloaded mine into iTunes and they plugged in to sync, mines perfect. And yes, whats voice over support?
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Yeah I figured re-install the app, works fine now.
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I loaded it right on my iPhone without issue.
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:36 pm
VoiceOver is a feature found on the 3gs where the phone speaks everything you touch- a great tool for those hard of reading
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
I just don’t get Apple. Mountain Sheep has submitted their update (Episode 2) to Minigore 4 wks ago. How in the world does Facebook get two updates in the matter of 2 days!!! Please someone explain this…

Is that the new euphemism for blind?
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:05 pm
“Is that the new euphemism for blind?”
was trying to be ‘politically’ correct.
I wanted to say the effing sight impaired… But again… Didn’t want to ‘offend’ any real real old people with the possible names of Eunice, Agitha or Renee!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Actually the VoiceOver accessibility feature is not made for the hard of reading. It is made for people who can’t see very well or blind. I tried turning on that accessibility feature and can actually use the iPhone with my eyes closed. Problem is you can’t tap on things you just swipe to go one section down where it reads it. So turning it off was a pain. Lol.

No, you were borrowing Elaine’s phrase “hard of smelling” from Seinfeld.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 pm
all these updates are really cool, but is it just me or is anyone else wondering when Beejive is guna release an update with group chats?! It’s been “coming soon” for a LOONNG TIME!!! I
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:57 pm
is anyone having problems with the facebook update? i did the update and now when i am on the home screen with all the different links for inbonx, profile…etc the whole screen is shifted up about half an inch, and there is a big black bar at the bottom?? ahhh
September 4th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Yeah we went over that, delete, hard reset, reinstall and report back.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:11 am
I had the same problem with the FB app. I deleted it and then installed it over again on the iphone itself. No problems now.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Dudes I am hard of smelling. It’s a serious thing, seriously LOL…I can’t even smell it when my niece poops in her diaper.. It’s weird how little I can smell.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:28 am
Sounds like a bit of a whoops! Give it a couple of days and I’m sure all the kinks will be worked out.

Two bugs I found in Facebook 3.0 still exist I have tweeted them to Joe, emailed them to Joe and Facebook Message them to Joe, he has not replied me or even fixed them in 3.1 or 3.2. You can not like pictures in your own album in landscape mode, you loose a button but in potrait you can and in chat you do not see all your friends that are online, its a shortened list than whats on the web. Someone who knows Joe Hewitt should tell him personally and maybe he will listen cause I’m sick of it.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:26 am
@Damien, I can like my own pictures in landscape mode. No buttons lost for me. And, I have almost 1000 friends and my chat list is not shortened.

In Addition:
Skype Updated Sept 4th.
STILL no Push!!! (Why does everyone else do Skype better than Skype?)
They now have a stay on line after phone locked, so you can open skype, then Sleep the phone and it will stay on line. But you have to either Jailbreak or Leave skype running in the foreground when you sleep the phone.
Mark Andresson just bought a controlling interest in Skype. Hopefully he can beat them about the head and shoulders till they get it right.

My FB app keeps shutting off for no reason. Not only that, but it won’t store my password and forces me to log in over and over. I’ve reinstalled once already.
