yeah 2.0 whatever. i was curious if i can skip to 3

Yes:

At the bottom of the iPod touch page (http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html) they advertise "hey, didn't get 2.0? That's okay, here's 3.0 for $10" in a lot of words.

How To Use The Best 40 Features of iPhone 3.0

I didn't know about some of these

Well there is the "Notes" syncing that people keep asking about today.

 

[goodcow]

So, is the AT&T data plan actually unlimited or does it indeed have a 5GB soft cap?

Has anyone here gone over 5GB?

I've decided to do things like stream MSNBC video podcasts over 3G every day to watch the news at work because I fucking hate AT&T, but that's about 500MB per day.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Notes sync to Outlook on PC, Mail on Mac.

Just use Evernote or something similar.

 

[Phoenix]

Damn....got buried like 8 pages back already. Is anyone else encountering these issues? I want to know if it's just me or if it's the unfortunate downside to the new OS software:

Yes, I have seen them. What you want to do is wait for the final, do a full restore and then a sync and that should resolve some of the issues - though some nuances still remain.

It's unlimited. They might put a cap on there if tethering is enabled. That's the only time a cap is put on data plans at AT&T.

No 3.0 yet

One of my iTunes downloads (movie) on my iPhone is stuck on processing and it won't go away, any ideas?

It's draining my battery life a mofo too.

Swipe your finger across it.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I just came back from local best buy, preordered the 32gb version. However one thing, I did put down $50, and they gave me a $50 gift card but the way they explained it is the gift card is the money I put down for the phone. Meaning if I spent the $50 gift card, when I pick up the phone I need to pay the full $299.

I dunno. She told me I get the gift card and the money down counts too. I guess I'll find out on Friday.

 

[VOOK]

Swipe your finger across it.

Doesn't work, it just moves a little like I'm scrolling up and down.

 

[Tamanon]

Doesn't work, it just moves a little like I'm scrolling up and down.

Go into your itunes on the phone, resume the download, then swipe your finger left to right over the pause symbol. It changes it to a Delete key which you press.

That's the thing, it won't resume - it just sits on Processing litterly all day on any connection. The pause symbol won't come up.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

It is now midnight EST and no update, damn you Apple! *shakes fist in air*

There is an Amazon mobile app update with 3.0 fixes, what a tease.

Well that would certainly be a pleasant surprise if true.

Question

I need to be able to write notes etc on my laptop and then get them on to the iPhone.
how do I transfer notes from NOTEPAD on my computer to the iPhone?

If you haven't found a solution already, you can try an app called AirSharing (or the Pro version). It allows you to transfer a wide variety of file formats (txt, pdf, xls, doc, mov, mp3, wav etc) from your computer and view/watch/listen to them on your iPhone.

probably because apple is located in cupertino, california.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Yeah I figured, I was hoping Apple would be nice and go by eastern time. I was reading on the Mac Rumors forum that the major updates usually come out around 10AM-12AM PST.

How about be nice and go by the actual date, Japan, Australia, New Zealand are already on the 17th and yet we have to wait for America. 3hours? Try a day then have a sook.

Again...

[VOOK]

I realise this.

But if you're going to release something on the 17th, don't make 75% of the world wait till the 18th. Fuck your own time zone.

I'll worry about it when I don't live in the same time zone as Apple.

Well I would assume it is more of a support issue then anything else. They probably want there employees in the office with a major release like this.

It would be nice though if companies would start resolving a user's location/timezone by IP address and allow you to download if you have reached the release date.

 

[VOOK]

I'll worry about it when I don't live in the same time zone as Apple.

Also when I said Fuck your time zone I meant to Apple not you

 

[Slacker]

Do we know for sure it'll be midnight in California? Couldn't it just be some random ass time on Wednesday?

 

[dLMN8R]

Yes, I have seen them. What you want to do is wait for the final, do a full restore and then a sync and that should resolve some of the issues - though some nuances still remain.

Do you know for sure if they final will solve issues that were present in the gold master?

 

[Vox-Pop]

So is the 3.0 update available on 12am pacific time?

 

[Tamanon]

So is the 3.0 update available on 12am pacific time?

Nobody knows for sure.

 

[Mamesj]

So is the 3.0 update available on 12am pacific time?

I am Steve Jobs and I say "yes"

Scheduled Delivery has reappeared on my UPS tracking number! Still scheduled for tomorrow, and it left Anchorage a few hours ago.

Don't worry, the ice road truckers will get it to you on time.

That's amazing. I never knew they could pilot freight aircraft.

 

[Mamesj]

The anticipation is killing me. haven't been this excited for a product launch since the 360, I guess (though I wasn't overly hyped about that.)

-crosses fingers

Dude hope you get it. Then you can do fucking tests for us


EDIT

OH SHIT!

I was right!

The ATT In-Store Preorder people! They shipped all of ours in bulk boxes to the US.. soon as they hit the US they broke the boxes down and now our tracking numbers work since they were prelabeled in China on each individual box. Mine was just scanned into UPS! Woot! Must be in Alaska with the others that just came in tonight.

 

[TheHeretic]

Why do I have to pay 10 bucks for my Touches firmware update again?

 

[LCfiner]

Do you know for sure if they final will solve issues that were present in the gold master?

unless Apple expects everyone who picks up a new iphone 3GS to undergo a software update the minute they bring the thing home, the GM build is the final build. it had to have been finalized and put onto the devices weeks ago.

 

[dallow_bg]

Notes sync to Outlook on PC, Mail on Mac.

Just use Evernote or something similar.

Actually, Notes won't sync to Outlook. Says no apps available for me and everyone else I've read about.
Does it need to be the newest version of Outlook possibly?

 

[justjohn]

cos you're inferior.

 

[dallow_bg]

Ah nice, looks like the jailbreak and even the soft unlock of the phone is just about ready.

 

[AirBrian]

This version of the iPhone software (2.2.1) is the current version.

:-(

C'mon, "Check for Update" button!

 

[IntestineBoy]

The lack of MMS tomorrow is going to be pretty disappointing, fucking ATT.

 

[Tamanon]

The lack of MMS tomorrow is going to be pretty disappointing, fucking ATT.

I'm willing to wager it'll work right out of the box, ATT just won't be allowed to tell you.

 

[IntestineBoy]

I just don't understand/know why they aren't able to handle iPhones doing what so many of their other phones are doing already. What kind of morons run that place? If they wanted to save grace with their customers that have been paying out the ass for the last two years on these damn data plans, they'd stay up late and get whatever the problem is fixed so it'll work.

But they won't so here we'll sit, bent over.

 

[Marty Chinn]

It doesn't work now without some tricky work so I'm not so sure that will be the case

 

[xsarien]

And the old refrain, uttered in the days of the original Ma Bell, comes sneaking back.
We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company.

The fact that the old iphones couldn't do it period no matter how you tinkered with it suggests that it did picture messaging different from how most phones do it. It was nothing to do with AT&T's network that prevented it, it was strictly a software issue that Apple themselves put in there so they would have something else to add as a feature on a future phone.

 

[robertsan21]

we who already got 3.0, there is no idea to try and update it to the OFFICIAL 3.0?

probably the samething...or?

 

[Blackhead]

Actually the old iPhones can do with, a little jailbreaking, and yes there was a flag in AT&T's system that you had to get by, so I'd say it was both Apple and AT&T conspiring to keep the MMS using masses [sic] down. Heck, an official Apple partner in Scandinavia even made their own MMS app just so their customers could use it...
