The iphone upgrade W&P is very amusing.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Honey, I don't think it was Pete having intel, but just his innate pessimism.
He *still* didn't *share*.
As far as the update goes, I just tried again, and the phone is now syncing, though it appears to be restoring from backup, not installing the new firmware.
Oh! it's done, report in a moment.....

I actually do feel for Apple at the moment. When you have a massive data event, it's impossible to test it effectively, because you'd really need a couple million people logging in at the same time to truly simulate the event. So you make some best guesses by extrapolating the experience and data you have and... then something goes wrong (or somethingS), and then the problem piles up, as people try again and again to log in.
I've lived this long without useful apps, so I may as well try to be patient. FEH

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm looking at other forums, and people's activations are starting to work now, like Sean's.

And with the 2.0, Google Maps is pinpointing my location with GPS accuracy. I guess now there's only the one reason to buy a new one. 3G would be nice, buy I think I can wait.
