Upgrading to iOS 4
The new version of Apple’s iOS (the new name for the iPad/iPhone/iPod operating system) went live this afternoon and I rushed home to get it… sadly I am now looking at “Backing up…” screen and have been for almost an hour now…
It seems like this is not an uncommon issue so I’m just patiently waiting taking in as many reviews and bits and pieces of info as I can on the upgrade while I wait.
Things I’m looking most forward to:
- Folders – some argue this should have been a day one feature of the post-app era iPhones (and I agree to an extent) but I’m just glad it is here now
- Spell checking through out the OS – I type at about 140 or so WPM and I can assure you I type faster than I think most of the time. The result of this has always been a trade off in the spelling department
- Upgraded Mail Client – Unified inbox anyone?
- Apparently the upgrade has a tonne of polish and who would turn down some polish?
Now all I need to do is hope this actually works… The upgrade is going.so.slowwwww
