Does anyone know if the 2.1 updates erases all of the apps, music, and movies after the update? How about any apps from jailbreaking (2.0-2.02 still had it when I pwned my iPhone again, at least I think)? iTunes 8 messed up my applications by deleting all of them, and I'd prefer to keep them in the same order I have on my iPhone instead of getting a completely different order when I resync between my iPhone and iTunes. BTW, QuickPwn couldn't come quick enough for Windows.
 
When I updated to 2.1, everything was there as it was before. All apps in the locations I had them on the homescreen. All the games scores and app settings were intact. I didn't have to adjust anything after updating.

It has always been this way. The only time everything gets wiped out is during a restore, not an update.
 
You didn't have to resync your music or anything? BTW, my iPhone is pwned so it might delete everything and reinstall everything, I think it has with other updates before.
