    If they're worried about using Microsoft software on Apple products, they obviously don't know that Commodore BASIC was wholly owned by Commodore--the only time Mr. Bill ever sold a version of it. Since Commodore's long gone, there's no one to sue Apple.

    I am holding out for the Commodore Plus/4 emulator, myself.

    Okay, I have to admit that when this thing becomes available (permanently) I will have to buy an iPod Touch to get this. Sure, an absolute waste of money to run C64 games, but somehow still priceless. Get it together, Manomio!

    Well you can still get to basic in this.
    Just run one of the games and then press the reset button on the c64 keyboard and it will drop back to full basic.

    10 print "hello world"
    20 GOTO 10

    It works :)

    @Retroman: If I were you, I would have phrased your comment slightly different - "For anyone who wants to use Basic in this emulator.

    Just run one of the games and then press the reset button on the c64 keyboard and it will drop back to full basic.

    10 print "hello world"
    20 GOTO 10

    Happy Days :)

    For those who dont know what Basic is. Dont worry about it ;)"

    Very cool, but it's insanely lame that they had to ditch BASIC. It's not like you've got the IO resources built-in to BASIC to do anything troubling.

    @Serolf Divad:
    And might I add: you can actually create some cool useful gadgets in BASIC (like custom calculators and such). Sure, i realize much of it could be done in a spreadsheet, but for many of us growing up with BASIC, it's far easier just to throw up a simple recursive BASIC program.

    I don't see the problem. The app clearly violates the app store's policies. It's a dumb policy, and probably a lot of the app reviewers don't pay attention to it, but it's apple's policy.

    If you want an open app system, go to android, or WinMo, or RIM, or jailbreak or something and stop whining. jeez.

    @St.Jimmy: Does the app come with games, or is it a typical emulator by itself? If it's a regular ol' emulator and users need to provide their own games I can see what the problem is. However, if they are not going to include games (wouldn't it all be considered abandonware by this point anyway?) then they should allow people to purchase them as "addons" per the new 3.0 software capabilities.

    I think Apple was just confused how we were going to hook up the Commodore tape drive to the iPhone port and not drain the battery before Forbidden Forest unsuccessfully loads six hours later.
