In addition to the new hardware support, with just about every release there are bug fixes. If you’re affected by something below, ask your dealer if the upgrade is what is needed to correct the problem. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade or purchase – the new OS and faster controllers are a good time to jump in. We also have a FAQ about the license for 2.0 after the read link.

4Store App Review #8: Calculator
Last Updated on Tuesday, 3 August 2010 02:39 Written by Joe Whitaker Tuesday, 27 July 2010 01:21
This is a handy app to have around on any touchscreen. Rummaging around your house when there are available touchscreens? Well search no more.
This app got bumped up on the review queue as it is the first of many by good friend and many time programming partner Alan Chow.
This app is very simple to use and really useful. This is probably one of the few apps that are so simple it doesn’t need explaining, come on it’s a calculator! Hopefully Alan will provide us with a scientific calculator version?
Navigation: Easy
Usefulness: High
Stability: High

4Store App Review #7: Photos / Flickr
Last Updated on Tuesday, 3 August 2010 02:40 Written by Joe Whitaker Tuesday, 27 July 2010 01:04
This is a pretty cool app for those of you that are photo buffs or who like to keep track of photos friends post on Flickr.
Set up was easy. The configure page in your apps at the 4store allows you to save any flickr account by user name and saves this to you app. Easy enough, so how does it work?
Flickr Search is the first icon in this app. Right off i will say this works well if using the on screen keyboard. The remote control letter function is still a little lacking as with all apps. I think that is a work in progress. But using the on screen key board works well, and the search function is great. I typed in my city and presto, lots of pictures of my home town. You can search for pictures of just about anything!
The second icon is the Featured icon. This one will bring up a featured menu which includes Across America, Cities of the World, Outer Space, and Sports. Clicking on any of these will bring up plenty of eye candy on any of these subjects.
The third icon is where those accounts you entered in the configure page come into play. This is the Friends icon. When this is chosen it gives you the names of everyone you have added. Select a name and it gives you all the albums from this user with a thumbnail of the album. Select an album and you have access to all of the photos this user has added to the album. When clicking on a photo it brings it full screen for all to see.
From a glace this is a great app for people who use flickr and for those who want to see whats out there. I will say that on a large display the picture quality was better than passable for those used to digital photography. The app is easy to set up, easy to use, and of course easy on the eyes.
