No massive changes reported but it appears that the 249.2MB 2.0.1 firmware is live and ready to install. The release coincides with an iTunes update and some are reporting some improvements in speed and performance. I’m updating now and will keep you apprised.
The update is pretty meh. It improves backup speed and I believe it gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
UPDATE – It appears to speed up browsing somewhat. iPhoneBuzz has photographic evidence:
I’ve noticed less lag throughout the UI over the couple of hours I’ve used it, which is great. One nitpick: The 3G/EDGE handling seems to have been tweaked. In areas where I used to get poor, but still usable 3G signal (1 bar), it now reverts to EDGE and is more likely to stay that way. Restarting the iPhone makes it grab the 3G signal again, but that’s a pain.
It’s a mixed bag so far.
They still haven’t fixed the mail.app crashing. If you upgraded from a 1.1.4 jailbroken iphone to 2.0 it killed the mail application. The only fix is to jailbreak it in 2.0, connect through ssh and make chmod changes from there. It seems like it would be a simple fix for them to just let it reset basically. No dice though in 2.0.1. So now I’m still waiting for a decent Windows Jailbreak tool.
Can it also give worms to ex-boyfriends?
ummm… the test crapped the bed when you had the pop up blocker on for 2.0.1 but not for 2.0 wtf thats why its slower….. more crap to load!!!!! duh wow do the test right
