iPhone 2.1 upgrade crashes!

tech

Now I seriously didn’t expect this from Apple. I was so-waiting for the 2.1 update to iPhone – and iTunes couldn’t install it or me! :-)
and look at the awesome error message!

Go Apple!

Update after fighting for 20 min or so:
I did a restart of Windows and iTunes – still got the same error.

iTunes documentation says I might need to upgrade my iTunes. So I go and click Check for latest version – and hey I am already on the latest one (iTunes 8).

Then I tried to upgrade iPhone to 2.1 again – and this time it worked. I have to agree to one of my colleagues – is Apple going the Microsoft way???

iPhone 3G!!!

on life, tech

yay! yay! yay!

My T-mobile contract got over end of July and I finally gave in to the temptation – I got the iPhone 3G today!!! :-) (yes in spite of all the bad things ppl are saying about the battery and Exchange integration). I get 14 days to return it so why not try it!

Only two problems till now:

1) Yahoo mail won’t sync! I figured it was the non alphanumeric characters in my password! So apple could not figure out this advanced piece o technology – people do have passwords with non-alphanumeric characters in them. Well it’s only been, umm, 20 years since this “technology” started! :-)

2) While setting up the phone, it crashed my OS twice. A-ha – Windows XP. So it’s a classic case of Microsoft v. Apple :-) And apple slam-dunked you twice Windows! :-)

But other than that, I love the phone!
