An iPhone software update to the rescue

Kent German | Aug 20, 2008

Yay! Apple's iPhone 2.0.2 software update has fixed our broken iPhone 3G. Its endless loop of system restores is over, and it's now back in working order.

Yet, that seems to be just about the only change from the update. Apple promised that 2.0.2 would bring "bug fixes" (and did it it ever) but the company hasn't promised anything else. Like others I have noticed a slight improvement in the typing speed when using the keyboard, but that seems to be about it.

AppleInsider reported that in the music player the transition from list to Cover Flow mode has changed, but I'm not seeing a difference just yet. Perhaps, I'm looking in the wrong place, though, so if you find it please let me know. I haven't seen a difference in 3G reception, either, but (to be fair) there was never any promise that this update would fix that problem. Still, I maintain what I said earlier: Apple needs to acknowledge what's going on.

Are you noticing other changes from the update? If so, please let me know.
