The only thing I really want is to be able to link via bluetooth to other devices. I have a cardio Bluetooth communication system between motorbikes and it would be nice to connect the phone to it so I can recieved calls on the go. My wife's nokia works with the Cardio but not the iPhone.

Adrian

Now that telstra as told me the phone is no longer on contract maybe I could look into jailbreaking the phone.

I would have thought it could already do that? I've been pairing my iphone to bluetooth devices for ages

I have been playing with the ardio headset and the iPhone for the last 1/2 hour but the phone won't pair with it. It will show up on the bluetooth page on the phone but I keep getting " unable to pair" message. I have also tried to pair with a Blue ant system in the work cars with no success.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I did RTFM.

Aaaargh damn it!
Doubletap on the home button isn't for the iPod anymore
I loved that feature. Didn't matter what app I was using if I needed to change tracks I'd doubletap.

Nevermind says I.... I'll just go re-assign the doubletap in settings and........
Nooooope. I looked everywhere in settings, doubletap is no longer configurable.

EDIT:
oops, nevermind... found it.. clever girls and boys at Apple

I've done my Itouch last night.
Haven't played with it much since the update, but is it me, or does it take more of an effort (longer time) to select something?

I found switching between songs and menus, I had to push and hold it a little longer than usual.

I've updated.

How do you get the folders?

I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8Gb.

Hi Chillie,

you tap and hold any icon, (like you are going to delete an app), then once they are all wiggling, drag one app on top of another that you would like to have in a folder together, then the folder will be created when you release it.

Took me a while to figure that one out too...

Upgraded last night. Took about ten minutes to upgrade and then a further 30 minutes to sync my photos.

My browsing seems a tad smoother, too

Good stuff!

I am trying to get my bluetooth working on my iPhone 3G. I have a bluetooth enabled laptop that I can connect to a nokia phone but cant get the iphone to even find the laptop, still searching. Any one managed to connect their laptops to an iPhone? How you do it?

To do what Adrian? Look into its filesystem? To sync wirelessly? I don't think you're able to. Apart from talking to headsets, speakers and keyboards, I don't think you can do much else. It's never been a priority for me, but for some it's probably important. As far as your Cardio system goes, a mate of mine has his Cardio talking to his 3G iPhone on 3.2.3 without issue.

Nope, when I first got my iPhone I thought I could transfer data between another Bluetooth enabled phone but no good, my understanding is that it's only good for Bluetooth accessories like hands-free, etc...

Thank you Adam. I followed your instructions, and yes it worked. I can't get all the iPod Apps in one folder so I removed them from the folder. Now they're out of order I I can't remember which order they were in.

The old version gave me rock solid Wi-Fi signal strength around the house apart from when the microwave was going. Version 4.0 gives me a variable Wi-Fi signal strength and also runs a bit slower. I hope the next version fixes the problem.

Took me little while and a few restores before I thought zone alarm might have been the prob.
Turned off zonealarm and it took about half hour!( including a restore)
easy peezy!
the folders are great!

Henry,

I think I remember reading on CNET that you're limited to 12 applications per folder.

I'm well happy, love the new OS.
Bluetooth has been greatly increased.
Binding between two devices now happens in seconds instead of 30 seconds.
Even more impressive, they now have AVRCP working.
I have a Bluetooth audio module on my home stereo, play my phones iPod thru that, was awesome but now they have fixed AVRCP(Audio Video Remote Control Protocol) I can now control the stereo's volume with the iPhone.
Cheers Apple
