    My install is detecting my iPhone 4 as an iPad. I’ve got everything too small. I can hardly read the letters. :-(

    Hey Airdealer. According to the XBMC Wiki Manual this should work with any “jailbroken iDevice with Cydia on iOS 4 or higher.” Are you getting any specific notifications?

    Besides issues with text size, is there anything else such as notifications that makes you think such? During our test with an iPod Touch 3G the display size was small as well so we’re assuming that its a universal issue that will hopefully be fixed in a future update.

    you can hardly read the letters in the xbmc app or in the iphone homescreen?
    The xbmc app is the same for iphone and ipad. the iphone version seems to be more of a gimick thing, not really practical for everyday use so the letters are small and the menus are harder to operate. I’m in love with the apple tv2 one. $119 Can for a full blown xbmc. Ill have in on every tv.

    I contacted the XBMC team and they fixed their support Wiki. Yes, this will only work on 4.1+

    This only works on iPod Touch 3rd Gen or newer, and then even not the 8GB 3rd Gens.

    Font sizes can be tweaked if one actually bothered reading the documentation on the XBMC wiki…
