Upgrade iPhone 3G to iOS4: It Runs Faster
Jul 8th
The other day, I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4, the latest software for the iPhone. The bottom line: my iPhone 3G runs faster!
I had a lot of trepidation since the overwhelming number of reports I read said that the 3G ran significantly slower with iOS4. New features are great, if my iPhone 3G is slow, I don’t want it.
Well, I’m happy to report that it is running faster for me. While I haven’t done a side-by-side test, I have noticed that email, safari and the iPod all run faster on my iPhone 3G. Even my favorite application, RunKeeper loads faster.
Best of all, the new features I’ve played around with are just awesome. This includes the following:
- Threaded Email – This is the grouping of emails by conversation (read: subject line)
- Single Inbox for all my accounts
- 5x Digital zoom for the camera
- Updated Spell check
I’ve only had it installed for a few days. I’ll report back in a week to see if anything has changed.
But so far, so good.
Ask me Techie Questions. Get real answers. No strings attached.
Jun 3rd
People know me as a super-cybergeek. Not only do I work in the digital world professionally, I even immerse myself in it in my free time. I love staying up on trends, listening to geek podcasts, and lull myself to sleep reading geek blogs on my iPhone.
Nauseating? Maybe. But, as Popeye the sailor used to say, “I yam what I yam.”
Because of this reputation, I am a recipient of many geeked-out questions like:
- What computer should I buy?
- What is the difference between Adwords and Adsense?
- Why isn’t the Android phone’s browser called “Chrome” if it’s made by Google?
You get the picture…
And you would think I’d hate it, but I actually love it. I have a passion for helping people. And, to help with tech questions is just nirvana for me.
So, here’s my offer: Ask me a question about any techie-thing you can imagine and I’ll give you a well-informed answer. No strings attached.
Do you have a burning tech question? Are you in need of a good, honest, answer? Then, fill out this form and ask me.
Cost to you? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The only “catch” is that I will share the answer on this blog so that others may learn from it.
Your privacy is critical, so if you don’t want you name shared, I won’t. And I will never, ever, share your email with anyone for anything.
So, how do you ask your question? Click on the ridiculously big button below.
My goal is to answer at least one question a week.
Thanks for satiating my habit.
