Hello,
I have a 1G iPod touch and have upgraded to the 2.0 update. I have brought your documents app. It's well done and comprehensive! As someone who's interested in US History, this app is the best I have seen since I brought my "Great Documents of American History" cartridge for my Franklin electronic bible in the late 90's!
I have some suggestions for documents in future updates. The first of these are the President's Farewell Addresses, which are delivered before the President leaves office. Here are the links to the texts of the last few:

The Bush 41 speech isn't a farewell address, but is often considered to be one.
I'd also like to recommend two other texts. Those being the 1968 speech were Lyndon Johnson announced he would not run again and the 1998 speech were President Clinton talked about the Lewinsky scandal:

Thanks again for your app!

There is one speech that would love to see added to this already-fantastic collection of historical documents: William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech. It brilliantly brings in the other side (which consists of populists and democrats) of the gold/silver question (in relation to William McKinley's inauguration speeches) and brings in an important element of quite possibly the most powerful third political party to have existed in the U.S. to this day.
The text for the speech is located here: http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5354/
