Hey guys, I received a link to get the iPhone 2.0 software earlier today and now that im all upgraded and have tested out this badass new software I figured Id spread the wealth. The actual release date isnt until tomorrow but I have NO patience.
Heres the direct link to the download

This link is all the info you need to install the upgrade. Heres a tip, once you install (SYNC YOUR PHONE IN ITUNES FIRST) then, if on MAC, hold the option key and click check for upgrade in iTunes, then choose the 2.0 software file. (I dont know PC but the link below will give you all the info you need).

Let me know what you guys think!
I have just an iPod Touch, but its basically the same thing without the phone features. I honestly haven't used my iPod Touch in quite some time, because it got boring, and I was on the verge of trading it in for a Classic. I held off because of the chatter on ilounge.com forums, and I'm glad I did! These applications are fun, and keep me entertained on break at work! The MySpace & Facebook apps are amazing as well, trying to check either of the two before was a challenge, especially with having to zoom in with the Safari web browser. I'm anxious to buy the iPhone as well now, a friend has the older version, and I'm infatuated with it :P
Actually the best app on there is Loopt. You can see where all your friends are thanks to GPS
^ That way you can make sure they're not at your girlfriend's/boyfriend's house... :)
I've been running 2.0 for about 2 weeks now on my iPhone and I think Apple has managed to "fix" a few problems including the intermitten lock/hang. Loopt? No, the best app so far is JirboMatch. It's free and like I'm working my noddle again. Who knows, at the rate my memory is increasing now, I just might be able to get that GED sometime next year. ;)
