In his latest keynote, 20-Oct-2010, Steve Jobs mentioned new upcoming firmware update of iOS to v4.2 which is expected to fix slow operation and occasional delays in UI of iPhone 3G with current iOS 4.x.
If that happens, that would be a major difference to an average vendor behavior -
everyone is so interested in selling the latest models and there's little impetus to help and improve speed of models two generations old.
Could this say that Apple simply cannot keep up with demand for iPhone 4 and decided to try and keep existing iPhone users happy, in the meanwhile?
In fact, here a good tip for the struggling iOS 4.x/iPhone 3G users out there:
1. Sync up with iTunes. Make sure a backup it taken.
2. From the Settings menu, do a hard reset, destroying all data.
3. Connect to iTunes and restore the backup. (Read help in iTunes on how to do that)
I did it last summer and boy it helped!
And then they stole my iPhone...
NB: iOS 4 seems to be picky about fragmented filesystem on iPhone 3G.
It could also be that verion 3 of "OS X" did much better around some flash system quirks. Anyway, a reformat helps tremendously. Especially if you don't load the whole lot of Apps back into your phone...
I think most of iApps out there are just fart.
After year of playing, I don't need more than 6-8 of them.
By the way, why is Cisco so quiet about IOS trademark infringement? Has Apple given each Cisco employee an iPhone? :)
