I too finally convinced iTunes to find and download the 2.0 firmware upgrade.

(I got through to the store and am downloading now. Sorry Theo.)

Watch out, the force of my jealously might just make your iTouch explode.

Our wings are not tired

I'm trying to update my iPhone and iTunes keeps saying the 1.1.4 is the current version. Argh!

Yeah, after a couple tries, it reverts back to saying that 1.1.4 is the latest.

I'm trying to update my iPhone and iTunes keeps saying the 1.1.4 is the current version. Argh!

I had to have the iPhone connected and check for a newer version of iTunes (even though I updated to iTunes 7.7 last night). It said it had the newest version, but there was a new version of the iPhone.

Of course, Theo's jealousy has caused problems -- in trying to install the new firmware, it encountered an error, and is now telling me that the device keeps timing out. I'm tring to eject the iPhone and restart everything to try again (the software is downloaded, I just can't get it onto my phone just yet).

You wouldn't like me when I'm jealous.

I'll get you, missy.

And your little dog, too.

iPhone is finally updating to 2.0.

Reading over the features for 2.0, it seems like the only things I'd be missing by *not* buying a new iPhone is the full 3G functionality and full GPS.

Can't decide if that's worth it or not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Both my bosses are in line for iPhones. So I had to debug all this complex SQL that one of my bosses wrote (that I'd never looked at before) using a very slow remote connection to the client's office in Washington DC, while my boss talked to me on his cell, explaining what to look for in the stored procedures. Periodically our conversation was interrupted by the cheering of the folks in the iPhone line (every time someone walked out with a new iPhone, those in line cheered).

But I managed to find all the bugs, and the client is happy. The end.
