    You can flip over cars, it's happened to me a few times.

    Look at your turf map. It'll show all the different drug dealer turfs, and what they sell generally, along with what they buy at higher prices.

    open your handphone

    goto Trade Info

    click the little tab at the bottom center

    click the globe icon

    click any colored zones to know what they are selling

    knowing that, explore the area for dealers and buy from them

    started on this (had it on DS) - can you plot a journey on the GPS? can't seem to work out how to do it - or am I not far enough into the game yet?

    You need to beat the first few quests until they explain the GPS features before you can do that.

    Yes you can. I have had that happened quite a few times. Cars remain completely flipped.

    A few improvements that I would like implemented:

    - Voices, even if they didnt add them due to some 'older' hardware, have it in for the newer ones.

    - Seems whenever i save, its always night time when i load it back up again, does anyone know a way around this?

    - Multiplayer, even the most basic, 2 person multiplayer, would be really fun.

    - More radio station, understand why they didnt implement it, however if it just was the file size, than 188megs is already big enough to add another 20 or so on top of that for it not to matter too much

    thanks for that - good news..

    anyway great port - better graphics than DS and I always found the way of holding the DS with stylus uncomfortable for this game.

    I am using the analogue steering option - need some more practice though.

    R* has convinced me to buy every single game they ought to put out for the iPhone. I have also successfully convinced many of my friends to get it as well. Hope they keep up the good sales and work!

    Has anyone noticed how the emptying trash can mini game is rather pointless?if it's a blue one if you tap on the wrong bag twice it just clears them all and defeats the point of swiping them away in the first place.

    - Save the game! Currently you loose the running mission when you get a phone call. This is a big nogo on the iPhone.

    - Move the left/right-arrows a bit more to the bottom

    hope os 4.0 comes out and bring multitasking to the ipod/iphone

    it shouldnt take much effort to minimize a game while a phone call comes through. Btw, for the dev to auto save on incoming calls brings problems. What if u are just fooling around and wasting ammo for the lulz but a phone call comes and the game overwrites your serious saves?

    our community should get above all the 'we dont need multitasking' and 'just jb and use backgrounder' crap and demand a proper implementation of multitasking

    The platform does have proper multitasking... critical system components can do it, third party software cannot. Have you experienced what multitasking does to a Windows Mobile-based smartphone? Memory is scare, dries up fast, next thing you know you can't answer the phone because the system is frozen.

    Tech savvy types can manage their memorywell enough, but that's too much to ask for 95% of customers, and Apple would rather hve a phone that's always responsive, has consistent battery life, and shares a common great user experience.

    I think they've made the right choice here. Advanced users can always override Apple's decisions by jailbreaking, so it's a win for everyone.
