So, WWDC was a fail. Well, for me anyway. The MacBook rebranding to MacBook Pro didn't impress me, and Steve Jobs didn't appear. The only thing I wanted was 3.0, and Apple dude (forgotten his name) said 17th. 17th! I cannot wait that long for some software i was hoping would be released that day. So, I took action. I downloaded a torrent of the GM/Golden Master, which is the development seed that is supossed to be the exact same as the proper one.
I took the risk of restoring my phone, as before, if you tried the beta it wouldn't work unless your IMEI was on a developer account. Which didn't happen this time. Oh yes.
I restored it, synced it, backed it up and restarted. It works fantastically.
Cut, Copy and Paste are fantastic, Voice Memos are no use to me whatsoever and landscape keyboard and MMS are two features that should have been there in the first place. Awesome. Plus the new note syncing is awesome and works well (with Outlook) and i have noticed less crashes in Safari and backups are faster. All in all, a well needed update.
Anyone who is thinking about getting it but is unsure, search by the bay for "iPhone 3G 3.0 7A341" without the speech marks. The file you are looking for is called "iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw". I am not going to place a direct link just in case. This filename is ONLY for the iPhone 3G (you will seriously mess up the other devices if you restore this firmware on it), but there are others for iPod Touch and original iPhone floating around the torrent network. They will all have 7A341 in the name i believe.
Away from iPhone 3.0 news, i have switched to Windows XP from Windows 7. Long story, but basically i enjoy the speed of XP compared to the memory guzzling Windows Vista and 7 in comparison to the 128mb of ram that XP is running at most of the time for me. Also, i switched to Outlook and Firefox 3.5b99 is out, which means it is nearing final release, which is awesome.
Also been having mixed feelings about leaving secondary school. Will be fantastic at Long Road (my sixth form) but I will miss the small things like my friends and hanging out on parkers piece at lunch playing football. It is the end of what I feel has been the best 2 years of my life (Year 10 and 11). I have had the best group of friends and will really really miss them. They probably won't even see this but they know that anyway i hope :P
Also, next Friday is my prom. Got a dinner jacket and trousers and will look fantastic. Hopefully will be turning up in a limo that some of us must organize ASAP. At least i have a blog to remind me of this stuff :P
Goodbye everyone for now.
