I was a little cautious when I saw the 2.0.2 update, i’ve started to think it’s not a good idea to be an early adopter of new updates/services anymore. However my curiosity got the better of me so I allowed iTunes to download the 250mb update.
Bug Fixes?
The update adds no new features and all Apple had to say on the matter was that it contained ‘bug fixes’
I’m happy to report that is does actually seem an improvement. In the 10 hours or so since I updated, my iPhone really does seem to be faster with smoother transitions between screens and a better 3G signal all round.
Most importantly, they seem to have finally fixed the typing lag!
For anybody wondering whether they should update now or wait, I think this time it’s safe to go now!
You’ve probably realised by now that it’s not a good idea to sync your iPhone if you’re in a hurray.
Every time you sync your iPhone after adding or removing any Apps/games it will make a full image backup which can take a very long time. The more Apps you add to your iPhone the longer it will take!
If you’ve had your iPhone for more than 5 minutes you will have noticed the that included ringtones are a bit crap! And for some reason, Apple don’t make it easy for you too add your own custom ringtones.
That’s not to say it isn’t possible though! Here are the best 3 ways to get custom ringtones on your iPhone 3G. [...continue reading...]
When the original iPhone came out, Apple had the crazy idea of trying to charge people to make ringtones out of tracks that they already owned!
Not surprisingly this didn’t last very long and Apple dropped the charge. Unfortunately they have never really made it easy to create your own for free though. Or at least they have never made it public.
I love my iPhone 3G but it’s not perfect. A few of the problems with the original iPhone remain along with a big new one.
1. MobileMe sucks!
I’ve been a long time .mac subscriber so was naturally excited about the relaunch as MobileMe. Jobs really did a good job of selling it to me at the keynote. It appeared to be everything I needed to… [...continue reading...]
After finally getting my iPhone 3G yesterday I spent most of my time playing with the Apps and App Store.
It’s early days but there already some amazing Apps available for the iPhone. This list features a wide range including task management, social networking, file transferring, location aware fun and even games. [...continue reading...]
Sorry for the slightly sensationalist headline! But iPhone 3G day is only 1 week away and I’m over excited!
It is also true, well in UK at least. But I know a high proportion of readers to this blog are not in UK, so apologies if the same does not apply to you.
Old Contracts
One of the main reasons I didn’t purchase an original iPhone last year (apart from the lack of 3G) was the poor contracts. This was probably due to Apple only allowing 1 network provider, therefore removing the need for o2 to be competitive and also Apple taking a cut of each contract for themselves.

@theiBlog Things isn't strictly a GTD app as OF is, it can be by using Tags as Contexts but it's not really for the GTD purists. 4 hours ago

As regular readers will know i’m a fully confessed Apple fanboy. But I am going to be objective about the iPhone 3G.
