and Cro Mag Racing have updates

Post if u find any others
 
Well it depends where I look.... iTunes is showing a link saying 2 app updates available. If I click on that link I get a page listing 7 app updates. Only one of those apps has a new version number. If I check in the iPhone App Store it only lists one app as needing a update. I think its a little broken.
 
Here's what I see when I check for updates:

- 4inarowtouch
- Cro-Mag Rally (58MB update :eek: )
- Movies.app
- PhoneSaber
- SpeechCloud Voice Dialer

Strange thing is, when I check on my iPhone for application updates, it says that all my applications are up to date.
 
I just tried to sync my iPhone.

Error: The application "Cro-Mag" was not installed on the iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (8xE8000013).

Does anyone else get this problem?
 
Last night iTunes told me that I had 10 applications that were updated. However, the badge that appears on the application item under the library section in iTunes showed only 1. I went ahead and downloaded all 10 anyway. They all downloaded but no update was made to the iPod. I even pressed sync, but still nothing. I took a look in the Mobile Applications folder and now I had multiple copies of the supposedly updated apps. The updated files were labeled with a 1 at the end, for instance:

Evernote.ipa
Evernote 1.ipa
Trism.ipa
Trism 1.ipa

This is the same as what iTunes will do with music if you already have the song there and choose to keep the old version (except it'll ask you if you want to keep the old).

A quick comparison of file sizes showed that only one was different: Evernote. I ended up deleting the original apps from the Mobile Applications folder and renamed the new ones. Then I deleted the apps from the iPod, and then readded them. The problem with this is that all the of the application's data is lost when you do this! This is a major problem. I didn't lose anything important this time, but it's all going to depend on which applications get updated.

I'm curious to find out what other people have experienced, because I think the update system is broken as it is now.

I just attempted to do the App Store update from my iphone and its not finding any updates but on my iTunes at home I show 6 of my applications needing updates and it downloaded them. I wonder if the iPhone app store is different or lagging behind from the normal App Store.
