Developers! Is the iOS 4 gold master version stable?

I've been using it all day with no problems with the OS itself. A few apps don't run or crash but they'll be updated soon after the official release I suspect.
In my experience I would wait. It doesn't seem to be 100% stable -- a few quirks that are more significant than something that would make it into a shipping OS.
The primary reason I installed it early was the unified mailbox. Some of my apps launch and then crash. Sometimes (rarely) things cause the phone to freeze. The only apps that do multitasking are Apple's own stuff, which they pretty much all did before anyway.
Just chill for 1.5 weeks. It's not going to be fun and exciting until all the 4.0-approved apps come through the pipe anyway (and those cannot even be submitted until tomorrow, supposedly).

- It's a gold master candidate. That's an important distinction.
- It's been pretty trouble free for me so far, but then so were all the previous betas.
- Unless you or your father are paid devs and need iOS 4 installed for testing, I'd recommend holding off a couple of weeks for the legitimate (and Apple-supported) release.
currently it is out now, and people without the developer license are able to use it
however what problems have you guys run into? he says he just wants to use it on a daily basis without any hiccups, and i am also interested in this too since its seems pretty cool to have it early
i see then, i guess well ill just tell him to try it on the ipod touch or something
what hiccups are there? are apps not working because they arent compatible with 4.0?
I've had a couple of issues with the GM candidate.
For some reason, I can't set my lock screen wallpaper. It just stays black.
I received two e-mails yesterday - both showed up on my iPhone as being received 01/01/1970 and were completely blank. Showed up after a reboot though.

Ios 4 gm and car stereo
I seem to have stumbled across and interesting problem by where if I use the 30 pin connector and try and plug it into the car stereo (iPhone 3GS) it will sit there blinking "reading" and gets no further.
Any one got any clues to why this might be... Ok yes I do realise that it is still not a final release but still... Normally the car stereo will control the iPod ie songs and playlists are selected off the head unit not the phone

Anybody can install iOS4 now. Your UDID no longer has to be activated. So just download the OS and shift restore in itunes and your good to go
