I’ve improved my battery and saved time using “Speedy Web in the pocket”. It’s very cool to quickly read web pages I often check. I spend less time on the net, and I get my info faster. And my battery thanks me

I’ve updated my Iphone 3G (last revision) with iOS 4.2.1. Agreed, the OS is much slower then iOS 3.0.x. However, it also solved some important issues for me. One of the things is remembering login settings in Safari. I have the possibility to log-in into so called WiFi Hotspots. With iOS 4.1.0 for some reason Safari did not remember the username and password for the hotspot. Even after deleting cache etc. it wouldn’t save my login, no matter how often I choose “save settings for this website”. With 4.2.1. however, this is solved. Okay, I get a slightly slower iPhone but all I do is call and sometimes write SMS-messages. Since the audio-quality of it’s iPod function is craptastic, I have a seperate MP3 player for sound and a digital camera for photo’s. Maybe it’s just time to get a newer iPhone

Rubbish!!!

You plug your iPhone 3G in and it says "Upgrade to iOS 4".

If Apple is not going to test this then this is the shit storm they should expect.

Hopefully 4.1 should redress the absolute FAIL of iOS 4 !?!

What a pile of Crock!

iPhone 3G + iOS 4 = a very annoying non-smart phone!

Oh, wait, you want to load a new web page - just count to thirty ...and then crash!

...do it again, and again, until you are really, seriously, PISSED OFF!

Crash,

Reload,

Count to thirty,

Crash.

What a pile of Crock!

Agree. iOS 4 is not a recommended update for old devices, but there are some features in this new OS that can make a big difference in productivity.

It would simply be best to stick to iOS 3.1.3 for best performance. iOS 4 doesn't offer all that much for iPhone 3G/ iPod Touch 2G users.
