Hi Esther, I tried this last night and encountered the same issue. I double-tapped the "Free" button and when nothing happen, I found a button that was labeled something similar to "language English" or something along those lines. I double-tapped that button and then was prompted for my iTUnes password. So, this appears to be some sort of accessibility issue. It took me two tries to figure it out, but I must say, very interesting. On Jun 21, 2010, at 10:22 PM, Esther wrote:
