Man, complaints about Iphone software upgrade...
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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.

Speaking of GPS, I'm thinking of buying a handheld unit for the drive up to Canada. Renting one with the car would cost be about $120, so I'd like to spend less than $200 if possible. Any recommendations?
(I do have Google Maps on both the iPod Touch and the Treo - any way of using those instead of buying something new?)
