    iOS 4.01 Update

    So, Apple have released the much anticipated iOS 4 update that contains the magic fix for the reception issues. Looking at the change log, that is all the update does.

    Here are the screenshots pre-post my upgrade (iPhone 3G hence lack of background image). Notice the slight adjustment to the signal bars. The low end bars are now taller than before.

    Apple have revised the formula for signal strength based on recommendations from AT&T in the US, and it would appear that I have now lost a bar! I am not too fussed as long as the new formula is accurate.

    This may explain why I always have a bad back! Some height to land on the front foot from!

    Believe it or not they actually thought that I was Kevin Pietersen - even after I explained he was on the field!

    To iPad or Not to iPad?

    • Having been dragged in to the Apple brand firstly with the Macbook, then the iPhone, Apple latest offering is drawing my attention like those pesky flashing lights on the gambling machines.
    • I have been on the lookout for a portable device (netbook) for some time but never got round to purchasing one. The downside of them is having to purchase a 3G data plan for Internet connectivity whilst on-the-move... yet another monthly cost.
    • Then I got thinking.
    • My mobile phone contract come with 3gb of data per month... can I not tether? The answer - yes!
    • Providing that I "root" my Motorola Milestone there is a FREE application that turn my phone into a wireless hotspot that the iPad or Netbook can connect to and use for tethered data, omitting the need for another subscription. Result!
    • So not only would I not to pay more out for data per month, but I would also not need to purchase the more costly 3G iPad - rather the WiFi only version.
    • Decisions, decisions..........
