iPhone 2.0.2 Released
| Apple has released iPhone software update 2.0.2. Again, details on what is exactly fixed is not forthcoming from Apple, so the end user must look to user comments in various sites (Engadget, TUAW & MacNN). Some users are reporting snappier performance, better 3G signal, fewer crashes, as well as no more annoying contacts or keyboard lags. I have upgraded my iPhone to the 2.0.2 firmware update, so I'll be back with feedback after a little bit more usage.  (just a heads-up, the update is 242MB to download). Update ( 08/22/08 ): Perhaps not too surprisingly, some users are still reporting issues with 3G even after the latest firmware update. |  |

Some iPhone App Store review sites...
| Thanks to TechCrunch, I found a couple a good iPhone App review sites: AppVee and App Store Apps. AppVee does more in-depth reviews, while the App Store Apps site is more of a review/tricks-n-tips site. Needless to say, I have both of them bookmarked in my del.icio.us account. Update (08/18/08): Also stumbled across this site today: iPhoneAppPodCast - had a decent review of NowLocal, the new iPhone App that I have been involved in. | |

iPhone 2.0.1 Released
| Apple has released iPhone software update 2.0.1. Details on what the release fixes are more easily snagged from other sites than from Apple - however, reports trickling in from end users. Unfortunately, the software update does not correct one of my more annoying issues - the excessively long backup times when syncing the iPhone. Too early to tell yet, but the other annoying issue ( intermittent long pauses when accessing the Contacts function ) seems to be improved. In related news, apparently Apple is seeding a third beta of iPhone 2.1 to developers. | |

iTunes 7.7.1 Released
| iTunes 7.7.1 has been released. This version seems to be a maintenance release, with bug fixes that promise more stability. (Sadly it doesn't fix the infernally long iPhone sync times  ) |  |
