Yesterday I was finally able to download and install the iPhone 2.0 OS update. Apparently Apple underestimated the amount of people chomping at the bit to get it (How that happened I couldn't even begin to guess). I was a 3 hour ordeal downloading the latest version of iTunes (7.7) and then trying to track down the 2.0 update. From what I read on the iPhone posting boards Apple's servers couldn't handle the amount of traffic it was getting from the 2.0 update. so I finally found it and had to manually install it which wasn't a huge deal...it was easy enough I guess. So after an hour of trying to update iTunes I was finally ready for the new OS which ended up taking another 2 hours to update. After all that it was WELL worth the time and energy. The new update is amazing....or would be rather if I wasn't in England where the location based services are useless. Regardless of that theres a shit load of new features like the app store and the ability to save programs and apps right to your device. all in all I spent 5 hours playing with it and figuring out what it could do. it was like having a new toy. Seeing as how I don't really have any mobile service on it yet (as if would be INSANELY expensive to use AT&T in England) I eventually have a slightly thicker iTouch but regardless of that fact I would DEFINITELY recommend getting yourself an iTouch or an iPhone. The iPhone 3G is impressing but has some very disturbing down falls such as the fact that the cellular radio in the 3G iPhone seems to be quite a bit less responsive then the previous version (or so my friend tells me) and the battery seems to extinguish itself at a much faster rate.
