TUAW's Erica Sadun raises a very interesting point with the way the new iPhone 2.0 software syncs with iTunes. Where with the old software it simply backed up documents and data for the most part, the addition of the App Store now causes it to back up all downloaded apps to iTunes every time it syncs as well, taking significantly longer to sync. This is especially true for graphics and sound-rich games, which are a lot of fun but take a long time to sync.
