    I installed 3.0 the other day, and found that ALL my apps had disappeared. (I hadn’t selected them to sync since upgrading to Win7).
    I had no problem re-downloading them for free.

    The re-downloading “bug” isn’t a bug at all, and it does exist in 3.0. Credit for this goes to the MacTalk Australia podcast: If you download a paid app to an iPhone and then change the iTunes account to someone else, then attempt to redownload or update it will give you this message.
