looks like there maybe an issue connecting to wifi. I can't conect to my home wifi at all and google is starting to show this as a possible issue.

Might have to forget 4.0 beta 1 and revert to 3.1.3

I actually noticed a difference in the last update for my iPod touch,
when I connected to Wi-Fi the weekend OMG it was so fast at browsing Safari,
blows GPRS/3G away

I love all those Apps you can get but having the phone and iPod as one device ispointless,
I bet it needs recharged up everyday if your using it as a phone or listening toit on atrain or something!

i'll see what others say about the update before I go and decide by it

it will prob bug me into getting it though when i plug it in to iTunes

yes, most certainly a new iphone will be introduced at wwdc in Junish(ish) as usual.

to create apps you need an intel based mac, preferably with snow leopard, and simple create a developer account at Apple and download the SDK which is free and has all that you need. Also, its worth going into iTunes U and downloading the Stanford University iphone developers course videos which give a good start to iphone app development

multitasking works well as a feature but its clear that apps will need to be coded to make best use of it. At the moment when you switch to a runnnig 3rd patry app it generally goes through its startup actions rather than continuing where it was. The built in apps work as expected.

The folders are a nice addition and have reduced the number of pages of apps I have considerably!

There's a 5x digital zoom in the camera now, although I used another app for that before.

When connected to power, you still get the huge battery displayed in the lock screen but when running on battery, it has gone, probably so you can see more of your selected wallpaper

when you go back into settings it now takes you back to the actual settings page you were last on, rather than the initial settings page

the unified inbox works well though I haven't yet found out how to view as conversations... maybe thats not in there yet...

It's looking good - I'm a little bit dissapointed that not all the multitasking features will be available on my 3G, purely because I intend to sell it in the summer to fund my upgrade to the new one, and the lack of multitasking etc is bound to hit the resale price against the 3GS, but I suppose that was always going to happen - things age, tech moves on etc, and when the 4G hits the scene mine will be two generations behind. Hopefully it'll still make some reasonable money on ebay.

Either way it's a nice upgrade even for the old 3G - I like the idea of more than one Exchange account (which will mean push Googlemail/calendar etc as well as work email), folders will be great, and there's obviously a lot of potential in the new SDK for bigger and better apps - multitasking or not.

you can watch the video of yesterdays event at Apple on this website: http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/

I am really looking forward to multitasking. I really don't care what people say about the iphone now finally getting multitasking. It will be worth the wait for multitasking without a drain on the battery or making other applications lag.

hmm... I just discovered that folders can only have 12 apps in them, so if you have more than 12 games (for example) then you'll need Games1, Games2 etc folders

ok, got my wifi working at home again.
seems that something has changed as I previously had no trouble connecting to my N router with it set at 300mbps but now I've had to change that setting to 56mbps. Even then, when the network was found and I was prompted for the password it wouldn't "join" the network. I ended up having to select "other" in the network choices and manually enter the SSID and password and then all is well again.

Lets hope they sort that before release!
Wonder if thats a similar issue the iPad is reportedly having?

edit: btw, is anyone else running the beta yet? any other experiences?

I really wanted to test the OS 4.0 beta but you have to be on the developer's program (100dol) ((. Could anyone with a very good heart and a developer account do the favor of adding my iphone to their program account? ::D:A developer can add tons of iphones and I'd not only be forever in debt but I can also try and help by testing apps, code, giving ideas and etc. )))

I don't know why but am starting to hate Steve Jobs specially after iPad. For some reason I believe, Windows Mobile 7 is gonna be huge!
Lets see..
T200 -> T68i -> T610 -> K700i -> P910i -> W800i -> P990i -> M600i -> P1-> Nokia E71 -> X1i -> X10 -> Arc S -> Sony Z1 -> Sony Z Ultra -> Sony Z3+ -> iPhone 6 -> iPhone 7 Plus -> iPhone X -> iPhone XS Max

thats plenty, but these days the SDK download requires that you are running Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 or later
