Iphone 3.0 update – no problems

June 18th, 2009 admin

Just ran an update to 3.0 on my Iphone.   Seemed to go through pretty smoothly.  I didn’t time it, but would say it took about 20 min.    You need to upgrade to the latest ITunes first though so that takes a little while + a reboot.

Noticing a few tweaks here and there, but I think I’ll really need to use it over the next week or so really start seeing the difference.

Nice touch that you don’t loose all your settings when applying the firmware update (as I’ve seen many times on Windows Mobiles).





Update on IE missing keystrokes (On Sony VAIO)- SOLVED

Another update on the problem with Internet Explorer missing keystrokes.    Doing some more research I found another reference to the problem – specific to Sony VAIO laptops.   As suspected in the earlier post – the problem is down to the fingerprint reader software.

Here’s the post with the solution:
