Apple DIDN'T Fix the Wireless iTunes App Store Bug that's screwing Users and App Developers alikeYesterday

With iPhone 2.1, a bug was introduced that meant links to apps in the Wireless App Store don't work in the iPhone / iPod Touch safari browser.

Bottom line, if you're viewing this page on your iPhone or iPod Touch, THIS LINK won't work. It should take you to a game called 'Punch-o-meter' in the Wireless iTunes App Store on your device. Instead you'll simply get a a pop up error.

Bad News

Bad news for users that want to download the free and paid games and apps that they see reviewed, and really bad news for the developers that would really love for you to download them.

What's bad for users and bad for the developers is naturally bad for Apple and a number of other companies. Aside from the fact that your iPhone isn't working as intended, Apple will lose money on the great many 'impulse purchases' that drive app sales.

The numerous Mobile Marketing Networks such as AdMob make a living from selling ads on iphone optimized sites. If developers aren't going to get downloads using Admob, they stop advertising.

Apple were made aware of the bug by many developers, straight after 2.1 was released. They've had many weeks to fix the problem with today's release of iPhone 2.2 firmware update, but it simply didn't happen.

So how long until it's fixed? Your guess is as good as mine, but until then everyone loses out.
