A bit confused

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit unclear on something....

Are they saying that the 3.0 will not install on any old phone period? (meaning we're stuck without the OS upgrade) Or are there 2 different versions of 3.0? (one for 3GS and one for the others phones)

Thanks in advance

There are three different versions of 3.0 -- one for each hardware.

Also, the OS recognizes which device you have and adapts the OS settings to your device - the OS would is the same on all phones.
You sure about that? Doesn't iTunes download the correct version of firmware for your iPhone? There's always been separate versions of the same OS for the different models. IIRC.

Is the original iPod Touch still supported? It's not listed there. I presume it'd be the iPod1,1?
 
Street view in Google Maps on the iPod Touch in 3.0?

I just noticed something in the first video, he is using an iPod Touch, (because it said iPod in the upper left hand corner) and he used Google Street View! This means iPod Touch gets Street View in 3.0! :eek: :D
 
Can wait until the 17th ;-)

I can wait until the 17th to have the legt 3.0...

Right now I am happy because last year I subscribed for a 12 months contract to have my iPhone 3G (I previously had the iPhone 1 and sold it so I didn't spend too much). My carrier just confirmed that, on July, I will be able to unlock my iPhone because my contract has expired. I will then be able to sell it and purchase the 3GS for a decent price with a 12 months contract. So I can stay up to date with the new device ;-)

I plan to sell it for about 140 USD (considering that mine is now cheaper for sale new). But, being able to sell it to anyone with any carrier I believe I'll be able to sell it at that price (complete package, charger and everything, in very good shape).

What I am looking for in two days is 3.0 but also TomTom (btw, does anybody know what the price of tomtom will be??)

Yup, that was announced back in March at the unveiling event. :)
 
Ok. I am downloading 3.0 GM now. How do I install it? Hit the option key and click restore?

I've waited since March... I think I'll just wait the two more days for the official release.

+1. Why take a chance when it's only two days away.
