... or any of the other 'native' software that Apple have so kindly pre-installed for us? Things like Stocks, Notes and something that I installed called SIMport...

Thanks

I believe you can SSH into your ipod and delete. Or, use a 3rd party app and hide the icon. I use Boss Prefs.

Thanks for your response grp.

I have now installed Boss Prefs, but how do I hide the icon? Thanks

I am sorry, I had a brain fart!! I told you the wrong program to hide the icons. The program you need is Customize. Just be carefull not to hide the "Customize" icon. PS: Boss Prefs is still a great tool to have.

If you only want to hide icons then "Poof" is better.
additionally, I don't think customize works on 1.1.4, does it?

I've used Poof! now. I'd still prefer to uninstall the apps though, if anyone knows how?

Thanks

Newbie question here, what exactly does it mean when you say "SSH"?

SSH stands for secure shell. Its a way to access the iPhone files. You use a client like PuTTY to handle the data transfer. I think...LOL. I know BlackWolf is good with that kinda stuff, so he can give you the technicals of it all.

I just move my Stocks app to a different home screen. Why do you need to uninstall it completely? I doubt it takes up to much drive space, plus it will probably be added again every time you update it.
