A new feature in iTunes 8 prevents iPhone-only applications from installing on the iPod Touch. One of our staffers, David Martin, was syncing his iPod touch for the first time in iTunes 8 when the following dialog appeared:

Subsequently after viewing the full dialog it was clear that iTunes 8 was not going to install the following Apps on the iPod touch due to compatibility issues: Dial Zero, Distance, GPS Tracker, Jott, Kyte, Loopt, NetShare, Voice Notes and Wooo Button.

So I suspect it might just be a matter of the original developers making some programming tweaks perhaps?; Like this Reply to this comment
