But Apple also enhanced the App Store so reviews are now associated with application versions, making it easier for iPhone and iPod touch owners to pick good apps. Matt Neuburg also tells the truly silly story of what he had to go through to download an audio book from his local library, and Dennis Wurster passes on a workaround for anyone who needs to print labels from the PayPal shopping cart. Other notable software releases this week include CopyPaste Pro 2.0, Front Row 2.1.7, and NTFS for Mac OS X 7.0.
