All these 200+MB iPod touch updates are taking up my HDD. Can I delete the previous updates without affecting anything in a negative way? If so, where on my Mac do I go to delete them?
Installed went through good.
Backup went 2x as fast for me.
No problems with any of my apps.
I haven't noticed any lag yet, but its only been 25 minutes...

Experience so far
Okay, here's what I see so far in terms of signal integrity:
3G reception does NOT appear to be improved at this point (and yes, I am one of the "2%" problem children). Oddly, my EDGE reception DOES appear to be better off---5 bars consistently where I was getting 3-4 before. I've also noticed that the one time I did see a 3G signal, I switched over from 3G to EDGE at around 2 bars, rather than "No Service".

Scared...
Hear, hear! I'm scared, very scared, to update again, after all the Error 6 messages I received last time I updated a few weeks ago
I do not want to deal with that crap again. *Sigh* So when do I make the leap of faith?!?!?

Has anyone noticed a difference in reception for the 1st. Gen. iPhone?
Glad NetShare still works.
Hopefully it can stick around on my phone till I get my MBA.
i have first gen iphone and idk about u but i noticed worst reception with the last update especially with edge disappearing randomly where i have 5 bars and back on 1.x.x had no problem with it (and i think 2.0 too but not positive about that one) seems to be good now but its only been like 20 minutes since i updates so idk
Build 5C1 and modem firmware 2.08.01.
So far at work I have the same reception as I did before the update: 1 bar of 3G and when I disable it, 5 bars of EDGE.

I hope so ... because I have been sitting here watching the progress bar move *VERY* slowly.
After 2.0.1 my girlfriends iPhone backup went from like 2.5 hours down to 20 - 25 minutes, I hope it improves even more since she only has applications installed. (Well, 650MB of applications)
Update downloading right now. Unfortunately, no 3G yet in NH (supposedly coming in October/November), but I am hopeful this helps with EDGE coverage. At my desk at work I have reception issues, so hopefully this helps.
I dont get databases on 2.0.1
I have to wait until I get home to update to 2.0.2
Nope (from my 2.0.1 phone):

Updated my 16GB 3G. Love the new "none of the apps boot" and "all your media is invisible features". Oh wait, no... they aren't new are they?
Restoring my iPhone YET AGAIN. If it's not fixed in 2.1 I'm going back to cassettes, LCD games and payphones.

iPhone Backing Up
I don't know if anyone mentioned this before but people keep complaining that they have to wait ages to back up. When your backing up in iTunes you can just click the little cross next to the status box and it will just cancel the backup but continue with the rest of the syncing.
So there!

I think most people aren't understanding about backing up there iPhone/iPod touch. If you backed up 20 minutes ago before you updated, then it's going to go a lot faster. This is due to the fact that backups take longer if you changed your iPod/iPhone around a lot since the previous backup. So, if you deleted 20 apps, and added 15, the backup is going to take a LOT longer then before.
That's basically the reason why initially backups are faster, but wait a couple of days without backing up and you will know if backups are actually indeed faster.

Workarounds are different than fixes. I think people want to have backups, they just dont want them to take two hours.
Originally, my phone took about an hour and a half to do a backup on the 2.0 firmware. On 2.0.2 it takes about 25 minutes to do an initial backup and then only 20 seconds or so to do subsequent backups (presuming I didn't install any new applications). I think this is completely satisfactory...
