iPhone 3.0 OS

Anyone else updated to the newest OS?

My first impression is that having landscape keyboard in txting is nice.

But on the negative side I think my 1st Gen is running slower since the install.

I upgraded to the New OS yesterday. I've noticed that mine is running a bit slower on some things too - I had to turn it off and turn it back on a couple of times yesterday since it kept locking up.

I am looking at getting an iPhone soon for work and one thing i always hated about the iPhone when i would use friends was that it woudln't do a landscape keyboard. Is this something that is now available with the new OS?

I updated yesterday too. I cant seem to get any of my Apps to upgrade that need to be.

Yup, basically every app allows a landscape keyboard entry.

Got 3.0 on my iphone yesterday and so far I like it. I had a bit of a hard time getting some apps to update. I've read it's just because a lot of people are trying to upgrade their apps right now. I really like all the new features. The push notification in IM+ is awesome, it will really cut down on my number of texts per month.

Every app will be able to have a landscape keyboard, but not all the apps are upgraded for it yet, like the Facebook app.

Good clarification...I should have stated all the standard apps that originally come with the iphone now have landscape (txt, email, etc)

I'm going to have to do that. Have they made it possible to view flash yet?

Don't think so. If they did, no review I've read has made mention of it.

Nope, no flash support.

If you could come up with a flash support program you could be a very rich person.

Here is the one I like most:

Internet Tethering

Share your Internet connection with your laptop with Internet tethering via Bluetooth or USB.4

4. Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.

That's funny.

There are already ways out there on the internet to enable tethering for free with the new 3.0 OS. They may or may not be legal though. Also, ATT is saying that tethering support will be available later this summer for $55 a month.

I have a hacked 1st generation on T-Mobile, but just switched last night to AT&T when I upgraded to the new 3GS... For those that are interested, I got the new phone from AT&T via the casback feature on bing.com (formerly Microsoft Live Search). I got 35% cashback, making my phone only 129.95.... I was pretty stoked about that. I just checked, and the deal is still active. I also got the confirmation email from Bing a few minutes ago. Make sure you use internet explorer when you do this as firefox doesn't always work. (I'm a chrome guy myself).
