Essentially, I used some of the iPhone OS 3.0 mechanisms to clean up some of
the MyMote code. I also had to fix MyMote for OS 3.0 anyways, since it was
broken on the new OS. Unfortunately, any app developed against iPhone OS 3.0
will not run under any previous version of the OS.

If you want an official MyMote from the App Store, you'll need to be running
OS 3.0. There are some workarounds, however. You could jailbreak your iPod
and manually install an older version of MyMote. As an alternative, if you
really don't want to upgrade and you don't want to jailbreak your iPod, I
could manually provision an older version of MyMote for you. In either case,
please send a request to mymote.support at gmail.com.

Note: I can only provision up to 100 devices, and every provision takes an
annoying amount of steps to deal with, so I would prefer not to go that
route. I understand the plight of those on OS 2.x, however, and I am willing
to help out any user to get MyMote up and running on their iPod/iPhone.
