While reading info about the new iPhone 3G on the o2 uk website i found this:
If you have an existing iPhone you can still enjoy many of the new features by upgrading your software to version 2.0 from 11 July through iTunes.
you will also notice that if you open itunes it will tell you version 7.7 is available. I can only assume this is so because iPhone 2.0 firmware will require new features in itunes!!!! I would get itunes asap to avoid having to download it while servers are under load at apple. Which would mean waiting longer for the update for your original iPhone!!! NOOOOOOO
Ill let you know once i get the iPhone 2.0 firmware (which i will prob be staying up for tonight!)
Sorry i have not posted for a while i have been very busy trying to sort my home network where i blog from. (writing from work now :-S)
I have also been working on sorting out hosting for other peoples websites on my webhost and also trying to get my head round xen source and other crap!
Hope to post soon to let you know about cool stuff coming soon from geekfreak.co.uk
cheers!
