I have recently acquired an iPhone 3G and also updated her to much talked about 3.0 firmware. I am using it as I type this very entry. While the iPhone hardware is a marked improvement of the iPod touch and the ol' Compaq IPaq 3850, the new firmware leaves much to be desired especially if it is jailbroken. The 3.0 jailbreak is sketchy at best and I'm now wondering if I should have even bothered upgrading the firmware so soon. Some of the enhancements that have supposedly been made have yet to surface like push notification apps and Google Latitude. This little guy has GPS, so you'd think there would be more powerful apps to take advantage of this, but sadly the best program is a jailbreak-only turn-by-turn app called xGPS. Hopefully some of these apps get updated soon to work correctly on the new firmware. Most of the things I cited in the previous post have been addressed amd I can still play DOOM and Quake on this beast, so all is not lost. Did I mention copy and paste! Woohoo!!!
