iOS 4

Posted on Jun 21, 2010

Along with millions of other geeks, I updated my iPhone 3G to Apple’s release of iOS 4 today (while others have already been playing with the jailbreak version). The update took a while and I’ve seen a few people in my Twitter stream say that it’s slowing down their 3G. Still others with 3GS are saying it’s faster after the update. I haven’t noticed a speed difference yet. I’ve made some folders to organize apps, played around with the improved Mail app, and will enjoy multitasking or “fast app switching” when I get iPhone 4. It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes apps to update their versions with multitasking enabled. So far, there are only a few that are ready.

    Alas, I’m still stuck with the old operating system with this antiquated original iPhone. I feel abandoned! I’m even considering a switch away from the evil ATT empire because I can’t get support on my old iPhone.

    problems with my 3g and iOS 4. I don’t have the multi-tasking capabilities. Is this an issue with all g3 phones, or do I have a problem with my iphone? Can I download the upgrade again?

    Gary, yes unfortunately, there’s no multitasking for 3G even if you update to iOS4 :(
