My iPhone 3G is synced with my home mac. At work, I have a Windows PC. Assuming I have a data cable, is there a way I can plug my iPhone in and update it here at work without losing any data on my phone? Or is the only way to do that is by doing a restore on my work PC? Or should I just wait to get home?
Got a tip for us?

listening to an a genius playlist on the iPod while browsing from within netnewswire typing this message. Should have crashed by now 
Some lag persist, but not a whole lot. And it is to be expected with this kind of pressure. Hehe. Contact lag is gone.

What's the point of being able to copy a SMS/email if you never realized you got one?
Yes, you can backup and install 2.1 over your current version and not lose anything.
I'm liking all the reactions. I look forward to downloading and installing after work. Also, I REALLY hope this puts a huge dent for all those morons starting class-action lawsuits.
of course Genius is there... and works fine
be sure, that you've activated Genius in iTunes and do at least one sync of your iPhone
Capacity Breakdown ... Apps
Hey All, In the capacity breakdown of the iPhone in iTunes, it now has Apps listed. Didn't this used to be under Other? Is this new to iTunes 8? Pretty cool either way. Loving the update.

You'll lose videos and music but if you run a backup first and restore from you win PC you'll be Ok otherwise.
I'm waiting on the last 8th of a backup...then I guess I have to install Itunes 8
When I get that done I'm going to check the DB level in the field test before and after the update to see if the 3G fixed change that around or not.
Is there a way to make it skip the backup before it upgrades?? Its already taken 15 minutes and its only under the "c" in "backing up...". I dont have all morning to waste waiting on this...
Genuis is there. Pay a tune and tap the album art to get the time wiper. In the middle is the genius icon. Tap it and a playlist is made from that tune.

Where did you find the feature???
Stupid me, I thought it would update automatically, where I needed to "check for update"
Contacts still lag at open!
Not for me. I can instantly scroll through the alphabet index as soon as I open contacts.
Massive improvement.
