I loaded up iTunes today. It showed that I had one application that had an update available for download. (In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen this not say their was one update available for quite some time.)
I clicked on the link to show me the available update and it proceeds to the “My App Updates” screen where it shows that I have something like 47 updates available. It shows all the updates, and some applications show up in the updates list multiple times. Huh?
I looked in my iTunes folder and many of the applications have duplicate copies that appear to be the same (i.e. they are the same size).
So near as I can tell, updates for iPhone applications are completely hosed for me. (On a side note, on the phone it shows 2 application updates available. Three cheers for inconsistency!)
And I’ll leave you with a screenshot of the fun:
