From The World Of Me!

Finally the new firmware is available. It was released Monday night the 4th of August. I upgraded my 2G last night and OMG did it take a long time. 2.5 hours to backup, install and then restore the backup. Crazy! I did however see some marked improvement to the very slugish 2.0 OS. I upgraded my 3G tonight and seeing the same results, however the upgrade was completed in considerably less time. I am having good luck posting this from the Wordpress iPhone app. I’ll let you know if I have any issues.

It has emerged that Apple appears to be testing a newer version of the iPhone 2.0 software which was officially released to the public last Friday. Boy Genius Report is noting that its server logs point towards users visiting the site using a version of the iPhone OS numbered 2.0.1. Two builds are said to be in circulation, 5B101 for 2G iPhone and 5B103 iPhone 3G.

The server requests are said to come from the San Francisco Bay Area, near the Cupertino headquarters for Apple and Atlanta, AT&T’s home.

As the software appears to be internal, very little is known about what the minor update fixes. But AppleInsider appears to have got its hands on a screenshot (see picture).

Announced today, AT&T is working on a web service that takes advantage of their WATSON speech recognition engine from any high speed network. Check out the Video Here.

Well this is my second post published with the new iPhone Word Press application. My first impressions are fairly good. The creation of the post was very easy, although I should note that if you want html markup within your post you will need to know HTML as there is no WYSIWYG editor, no biggie. Adding images to your posts was very smooth as well. You can capture a new image from your camera, take a screen shot or select an image from your Camera Roll. I did however experience some issues. There was a phantom post that was added along with the first post. I will check after this post is added to see it it happens again. There seemed to be another glitch, the application seems to abruptly shut down during the publishing of the post. I believe at this time I will contribute it to the crappy wifi connection that I am currently on as well as the crappy 2.0(5A347) firmware that I am currently running. I will wait until I test this with 2.0.1 FW that hopefully will be out this week before I start to complain. All in all I would rate this application a 10 and best of all it’s free. Be sure to get yours today. Just click the image to go to the app store.

WordPress iPhone application was released to the app store last night. As you can see it’s been a while since I had time to put anything down here. Now with this new app I will be able to jot down some notes rather frequently. This will be my first post with the new app so we will see how it goes. So far everything has worked smoothly. It’s possible to manage several blogs, post pictures, publish new and manage old posts. Check out the details here WordPress for iPhone
