Yeah I do have it the only real new feature I have noiced is there is a new edge icon. I will post a pic and you can install apps on the phone from itunes while still using the phone

That's very good news!

Just about every other App I d/l from the store crashes my phone. Can't really complain since this is the best phone I've ever had.

 

[schatzie]

Wow I can't wait. The lag is annoying sometimes.

Normally how long after an update released to developers will it be before the rest of us get it?

Thanks!

Just a quick pic incase some jerk comes along and says pic or it didn't happen....

Is it a small blue diamond/circle? that might be the grps icon.

 

[btnnaz]

if you click on an app while it's installing it will pause

no it's just an E not an e in a box

Hey btnnaz

did you notice any gps updates?

 

[Imperil]

Do you get access to 2.1 beta from ADC? I only have a student membership atm so I don't get the OS downloads, so I was curious.

 

[sr5878]

heh, clever visual to bolster the importance of the 3G feature.

 

[btnnaz]

Hey btnnaz

did you notice any gps updates?

Yeah actually just did a short test. I have never able to have it move when im walking small distances. so i zoomed all the way up and walked around the house and the dot moved so smoothly to show where i was going!

 

[bubbagumpshrimp]

So this isnt the same update (Sept release?) that is going to allow apps to run while in the home screen (aim) is it?

yeah but i got mine a long time ago like 2 weeks after they announced the beta program for 2.0.

PS u guys think the 2.0 is bad now u should have seen it in it's first beta

So this isnt the same update (Sept release?) that is going to allow apps to run while in the home screen (aim) is it?

Apparently it is

I think that we'll see this update before then. I bet the cloud will be active with 2.2 or even 2.3.

Edit: really? we have to wait over a month to get this update? damn.

 

[bubbagumpshrimp]

Apparently it is

Wait, so you are able to get aim push notify outside of the app?

 

[sdd4]

So I know that the real-time tracking will work with the GPS hardware, but what are the odds that it will improve tracking on the First-Gen iPhone?

but did the map rotate so that the dot always moved forward?

Hold on my phone is still syncing my data back so one it's over i will test....but im not sure if the app has it built in yet maybe it's not even in the app until they release an update that includes it . but under the readme it shows that you can now build your apps with this feature

but did the map rotate so that the dot always moved forward?

no just the dot moved idk it may be because i didnt go very far i will test it more tommorow when i actually drive somewhere

Humm good point. let us know what you find out. thanks for the info

 

[lavrishevo]

This great news considering I am getting 2 -3 hard resets a day now. Just had one after 'slide to unlock' which is a first. Hope it's soon!

omg that is awesome! I didn't know GPS's worked inside. But i haven't really had any experience with GPS or iPhone. But thats cool

I would think that AIM would need an update to take advantage of this new feature.

You are probably right but im just itching to know if this is the update that will provide push for 3rd party apps.
