Problem: Using the iPhone Simulator
I installed the iPhone SDK and can launch the iPhone Simulator, so I thought I'd try to run some iPhone apps I downloaded from the Apps Store (don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch yet). But how do I do this? If I drag/drop an app onto the iPhone simulator, I first get an encouraging green plus sign, but then there's a msg that "Safari can't download this file." Documentation is scanty. What to do?

It looks like it is 1.0..I have tried the same thing. I just downloaded the latest one today...but it is the free version. I have not paid the $99 to officially join the program to develop apps. I am not a developer...I just want to see what is out there before I sign up and buy a phone...any ideas? -
The iPhone simulator I downloaded yesterday as part of the freebie iPhone SDK is indeed ver 1.0, but that shouldn't make a difference, one would think, its who idea is to test iPhone apps. But how do you use it?

Inappropriate?You don't add apps that way to iPhone Simulator. You have to add them to a specific folder. However, iPhone apps are built for ARM processors (like in the iPhone) not Intel processors (like in a Mac) so they won't run regardless of how you get them in there. Sorry.
