iPhone OS 2.1 delivers the iFix - at last!
The iPhone OS two-point-oh-woes seem finally a thing of the past, with
snappy responsiveness from the OS, the SMS keyboard typing, loading of
contacts and other apps, no crashes (as yet) and reports from some
iPhone 3G users of more bars and better reception, but not everyone
agrees. Meanwhile, my unlocked iPhone 2G is now happily running OS 2.1
– how did I do it?

Apple seeds new iPods, offers surprises - and disappointments
So those pics of the new iPod nano were spot on, as were the rumours
about iTunes. The nano comes in 9 colours, there’s a new iPod Touch
with speakers, volume control, Nike+ and 36 hours of audio, and OS 2.1
software arrives at last – but there’s no 64GB iPod Touch, and no 32GB
iPhone 3G.

iPhone OS 2.1 - will it be a panacea or more purgatory?
Theoretically coming September is Apple’s iPhone (and iPod Touch) OS
2.1, which is supposed to have “Core Location” GPS services, more bug
fixes (which OS 2.0.1 didn’t really fix) and the “push notification”
services that are a substitute for programs running in the background –
but this has just been taken out OS 2.1 beta 4. Will 2.1 be a panacea
for suffering OS 2.0 users – or just more purgatory?

(Updated since publication:) iPhone
OS 2.0.1 has arrived, promising faster surfing speeds, snappier program

question for unlocked and jailbroken iPhone
owners on OS 2.0 is whether or not it’s safe to upgrade. Here’s what I
did to make it work, although any attempt you do at trying the same is

iMessage to Apple: iPhone OS 2.0 sucks
Hi Apple! I love the iPhone, but you’ve seriously screwed things up
with iPhone OS 2.0 – an operating system that is reminding me of the
original OS X 10.0 and the new 10.5.x in its bugginess, an OS that
desperately needs updating to a more stable version. Can we hurry it
up, please?
