I thought about 2.1 earlier and ever since then my iPhone has seemed slower.I read the live blog from my iPhone and my Safari has been snappier ever since.
it's like having a whole new device. You get so used to the crappy 2.0.2 that once you upgrade to 2.1 it's such a breath of fresh air. I don't even care about the lack of new features because this is nice.
By the way, I typed this on 2.1. No lag.
It's hard to get too excited for an update that is probably going to be nothing more that bug fixes for the most part.
I really think that if push notification or copy/paste or any other new features were coming, Steve would have showed demoes and 'bragged' a bit about the cool new features that were coming. I know that tuesday was an Ipod event, but I still believe that he would have mentioned it.
I keep reading "Significantly better battery life"
I seriously would like to know how an OS update is going to accomplish that.
My iPhone was in the same room when I watched Steve Jobs announce 2.1. The iPhone definitely seems zippier now with less lag.
So are you using the iPod touch 2.1 on the iPhone? Otherwise I don't understand.

No, I have an iPod touch and an iPhone. I am running 2.0.2 on my iPhone and 2.1 on my iPod touch. I kind of enjoy testing stuff on my iPod touch before trying it on my iPhone... I did the same thing with the jailbreak.

My guess is, it goes from being pathetic to slightly less pathetic, if that.
And I too am kind of bummed that there are no new features.
But then again, it isn't shocking at all.
I mean, if they release all these new features now, how are they going to have an iPhone 3.0 next July?![]()
People need to let the "copy/paste" thing go. If 2.1 had it, the folks that updated their touch would be raving about it by now. It ain't happening, thats what methinks.
Hey does anyone know when iPhone firmware 2.1 is going to be released?
NEVER! Unfortunately, the iPhone will get copy/paste 10 minutes after Stevie H Tap-Dancing Jobs needs it and not a second earlier. It will also be called something that lets him patent it and claim it was all his idea, not copy/paste.
Yep. He will unveil a revolutionary new feature called Tapshot (TM), which allows you to take snapshots of text and retrieve them by triple-tapping on the screen.NEVER!

I really hope this update doesn't disappoint. I dont have an iPhone but i am an Apple fan and it would be a hug blow if 2.1 was a dud.
