Comments on: Apple releases update to iPhone 2.0 software

The new software supposedly comes with various "bug fixes," although it's not clear right now exactly what bugs Apple chose to tackle with the new software.

My iPhone 3G was having these random crashes and shutdowns ... and the scrolling was going slow ... like it was lagging ... I thought it was cause I had too many contacts.

But now with the update I haven't had any of those random crashes, and the scrolling in the contacts is silky smooth. I'm not sure if this because of the bug fixes or just because I updated the firmware - kind of like how reinstalling windows gives u a snappier experience.

Either way, so far so good for me with the new update.

No problems with either software on my original 2G iPhone - unless I count dropping it in a cup full of beer at the X Games 2008 a couple of days ago. It still works pretty good but with one small thing..... phone doesn't want to turn off at all. At least I got it to: 1) stop crashing, 2) depleting a full battery in 3 hours, 3) telling a unconnected device is not compatible with it.

Will do my best everyday this week to make it run like it never got drunk. I do not want a 3G until Apple fixes all issues. So far it is working at 95%. Very Happy!!!

the Update also came for the ipod touch

and although the updates always say "bug fixes" this time around I noticed that the pages from the website youtube on safari can now play videos directly from the browser, rather than having to close safari and open the youtube app and search

Just installed it, everything went well and the stuttering issues when pulling up contact has definitely disappeared. Have yet to test out with GPS is more accurate.

I just tried backing up my iPhone, and it took well over an hour. I hadn't had this problem before. Hopefully it won't continue.
Contacts and the keyboard are working better.

Anyone else having problems with the back-up taking too long when you sync the iPhone (after updating to 2.0.1)?

Haven't had any crashes, but did notice the GPS is working better on the EDGE network now. Prior to the update it would only give an area, now I am getting a pinpoint location.

Scrolling of contacts and keyboard is a little faster. For me, the 3G service is either the same or worse... Hard to tell as it is VERY flakey even when sitting 100 yards from a 3G tower.

The only real "bug" I had noticed was the need for the contact list to take a few seconds to load before it could be scrolled or accessed. Now it's virtually instantaneous.
