      Does any of you miss the full screen preview like in OS 2.2.1?

      I really miss viewing the screenshots in actual size, so I can see clearly how good or bad it is. As we all know, all visuals look better when resized smaller, so with OS 3.0 all graphics look better..

      Plus, if they have on-screen buttons, we can also imagine how big / small they are. Of course, unless they 'cheat' like with Zenonia or using many screenshots in 1 screen like World of Tunes.

      PS: If you agree please send your feedback to Apple-> http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

      I miss them too! Would like to also see the real graphics quality of games.

      Yeah, let's report this as a bug to Apple. That's the only way they'll listen to us. So far they've been listening albeit slow: option to turn off auto-correction, SMS preview and SMS repeat alert.

      I miss them also.
      I suppose if you really wanted to know what they look like on your screen, you could save them from your computer into your photos, but that is daft.

      Yeah, this is a real shame. Although they load faster in the set of previews as a slide function, it seems a bit dodgy when you scroll down the see part of the 2nd screenshot on the right of the screen.
      Although it makes faster viewing, i loved opening up the screenshot fullsize to see how it looks as i'm playing it, i actually feel i'll be downgrading in the future.

      It's also pretty disappointing that they did not include videos as well. Almost every app, except for crap apps has some kind of video on youtube.

      Totally agree. I always have to go to appshopper just to check games look as good as I think they do.

      I do as well. It's also easier to scroll up and down on a page with the full screenshots. Now, scrolling up and down often makes the screenies move around.

      I agree, and for the reasons mentioned earlier, I use AppSniper or PandoraBox for those times when I absolutely have to see screenshots at their full size, when I am using my iPhone.

      I hope everyone who posts in this thread has also sent a feedback to Apple:
      http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

      Is it just me or do you guys think the screenshots on PandoraBox look slightly different? The colours are a bit darker. AppSniper screenshots look fine but the program is very unstable.
