[ Music ] ^M00:00:01 >> I'm Tom Merritt from CNET.com with a Quick Tip about how to buy apps from the new iPhone 2.0 app store. This works on both the old iPhone, as well as the iPhone 3G. Select app store off the front and search around until you find an app that you like. Now some of them cost money, some of them are free. I'm gonna find a free one. Now here's the weird part, you press the price, in this case free. That gives you the Install button. Press the Install and it will take you back to your desktop where you'll see it loading. It will download over the edge network or the 3G network on the new phone or over Wi-Fi, either one. Once its done, it will go from sort of a grade state to a clear state. Tap it and you got your new app. It's that simple. That's it for this Quick Tip. I'm Tom Merritt, CNET.com. ^M00:00:49 [ Music ]
