iPhone 2.0
Written on July 12, 2008 by Katherine W. Prawl
Ok, so for once I’m eschewing the early adopter frenzy and only updating my original-version iPhone instead of running out and buying the new one on the first day it’s available. It hasn’t been easy, either from a psychological or temporal standpoint. Right now it’s 9:30 p.m. on launch day, but I’ve only now been able to finally download the 2.0 update, and I’m still waiting for the phone to synch with my restored backup.
While chomping at the bit, waiting for Apple’s servers to catch up with the buggy first release then demand from those customers who are not as patient as I am, I’ve browsed most of the new App Store’s offerings, and even bought a song from the iTunes store from my iPhone — something that’s been possible since the last version 1.x update but that I hadn’t actually tried till now. I will probably start out with a few freebies, but there are a few little apps that I may pay for as well. It hasn’t been easy to be cool about waiting for the upgrade so I can spend my money on little apps, but the end of the tunnel is in sight now. The software and firmware are installed now, and I’m just waiting for my data to be restored. If I’d thought about it, I’d have emptied all the music and video content that is, after all, also on my computer, to speed up the process, but it should only take a few more moments now.
