"As I see it folks have two choices: 1) Jailbreak their iPhone 2G, 3G or 3GS and deal with not having the latest Apple OS for a few weeks or 2) Update and be content with a locked phone. It's quite simple really. Thanks for the great work that you do at devteam. My iPhone is hacked so I can background apps. It's great. Thanks guys!"

@rjjackuk Thanks for that link. Been talking drobo's today. Just had a drive die, luckily not vital, taking it as a sign
Drobo is worth it, according to the reports. I'm looking at getting one.

3.0 is downloading now!
Roy Pledge, Paul, Pod Escucha and 35 other people liked this
Joy :)
- Ola
Working on installing mine now... The progress bar is nearly finished!
- aminorjourney
been on it for weeks and I gota say I like it, but the wait now continues until we have app developers updating their apps and getting push working!
- Kyle Saric
ooo shiny
- ralphsaunders
Yay! I'm on 3.0! Go iPhone!
- aminorjourney
I'm kind of disappointed they really haven't changed anything since beta 5. I thought they'd have a hidden feature or two.
- Dan Hendricks
Don;t get too excited Leo. It may get paused just like your 3Gs shipment. All the bits will be stalled in KY. :-)
- Jim Oxenford
mine is installing goodbye 2.2.1
- Michael Zamora
I still get the "2.2.1 is the current version".
- Sean Ryder
Update finished installing for me. Now iTunes is just backing up my iPhone.
- Troy Ryder
downloaded 3.0 for the touch, and it works great! nice to have landscape and copy and paste functionality
- Jon mclaughlin
Sean, unplug your phone, relaunch iTunes. I hear that works for some
- Dekz
Yeah, now where is an update from BeejiveIM and IM+ for push?
- Kevin Whalen
Productivity across the world just took a dive :-)
- Bryan Lyle
Kevin: their app store app was submitted for updates but it's still not in the store. I love BeeJiveIM too, and it's ran pretty weird on all the 3.0 betas.
- Dan Hendricks
Now I just need to figure out a way to get out of my Verizon contract so I can port over to At&T with a 3GS
- Jon mclaughlin
I'll be downloading my update for my iPod tonight at 5:30PM Eastern time. I'm counting the minutes!
- Mike Lewis
Have fun everyone. 3.0 is a blast. Been playing with the GM Seed for devs a couple of days now. Very nice upgrade!
- Jeremy Heslop
So are there ANY Push IM clients yet?
- Dekz
Thanks for the info Dan!
- Kevin Whalen
from email
The GM seed and the now downloadable version has the same build number: 7A341
- David Jack Wange Olrik
Downloading mine too. Had to upgrade iTunes to 8.2 first ... annoying 'Updating Library' function taking a half hour before I can proceed to the 3.0 install.
- Dale Dietrich
I love the new Text app
- AharonD
Leo, have you seen AT&T has revised it's upgrade requirements. 3G owners who are up before the end of Sept can get standard prices. http://friendfeed.com/chilima...
- ChiliMac
Does anyone know if the 3GS will have capability of Blackberry Redirect? Can't afford to lose my work email but want to get an iPhone
- Jon mclaughlin
Me too!
- Matthew Elledge
from IM
Did you have the beta?
- Robert D. Fraser
Me too! WAIT. I use a Blackberry.
- Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ
What's the file size?
- Michael Halstead
I walked away when i got back my phone was done
- AharonD
Finally downloading. What does it say to be so excited for a software upgrade?
- Sean Ryder
I've got mine downloaded now, just got to SSH into my iPhone before updating to backup.
- Nigel Kitchen
i take it it would be a bad time to call someone with an iphone right about now. lol. hey leo! ring ring. heh
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
jailbroken versions will be out by friday: http://9to5mac.com/ultrasn...
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
Michael -- 230.1MB
- Jay Cuthrell
Going to to mine now. I can't wait. But it costs me 9.99 for the iPod Touch.
- Zachary TG
Thanks Jay C.!
- Michael Halstead
Anyone know if you can share the update file with another computer? Both me and the wife have iPhones and it seems silly for us both to download it?
- Jason Roseweir
4:27am here. 3rd attempt at downloading. keep getting an "unknown error" halfway through downloading. If it doesn't work this time, I'll take the laptop into work and try from there in a couple of hours.
- Ben Short
Installed! Copy & Paste, here I come!
- Matthew Elledge
from IM
So, if you have music playing and are editing, what does shaking the iPhone do? Does it undo the last track change? :-P
- David Wright
from twhirl
Update installed, but now getting a Unknown error when it tries to activate it. :-(
- Jason Roseweir
Got mine, too. Works a treat. I really like the way they implemented copy & paste.
- Joey Gibson
Got it installed already, works very well so far!
- Tyson Williams
Some cool podcast navigation features added: http://tinyurl.com/mrlxme

...In "activation server is temporarily unavailable" hell. Apple is making an AT&T of themselves.
- Jean Sebastien Dussault
RT @marrathon: Mac OS X can be installed on an SD card and used for startup on the new MacBook Pro 13" and 15" models. http://support.apple.com/kb...
Now THAT is sweet. How long before utilities are offered (emergency disc) as an SD card?
- aminorjourney
Okay, bedtime for kiddies, also it's not that important, as someone said, there's far more important events taking place. BN fucking P for 1
What concerns me is some of the numpties who voted for em and then said "Oh, no, we're not racist"
- aminorjourney
RT @aminorjourney:@bobbyllew. Nikki's brilliant plug in prius video http://nikkidrives.blip.tv/ nicely done, made me larf and it's V interesting
Fankooo for the plug. Haha.

My. That's interesting. iTunes 8.2 thinks my Pre is an iPod.

- Zee.
Whoa! Omg Leo I can't wait to hear all about the Pre.
- Lise
Welcome to the controversy :)
- Bwana ☠
Unbuntu always thinks my HTC Diamond is an Ipod
- Patrick Dwyer
Funny strange, Leo. Funny strange.
- Callie
Heck Leo the iphone guys designed it to do that. I read it would be seemless. I wonder about any apple infringement? I'm sure they thought it through
- Rock
anyone know when the pre comes to australia?
- Bill Thomas
Looking forward to getting my Palm Pre
- Dustin Sherrill
I wonder how long it will take Apple to send out an iTunes update to shut this down. My guess, two weeks at most.
- Michael Groner
Oh that's awesome.
- Bobby Lacey
It has to be a bug in the file. That's what I'm thinking.
- Callie
Are you using Windows 7? I have heard a number of people mention this today but they were all using W7.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
very interesting..
- victed
Sounds like the Pre has an identity crisis. ☺
- Jim Lecter
Now Leo I still maintain you recommended the Storm and I hope you don't do this to me again. Please. Don't get mad I just hang on your recommendations and just maybe I heard wrong.
- Rock
Awesome... Wonder if Apple will have anything to say about this.
- Jeff Matchett
Well it's supposed to. The USB identifier is the same as an iPod.
- Dave Zawislak
Yes leo.. here's what's happening there http://bit.ly/YPUuP .. Engadget reported couple days ago http://bit.ly/B9lle
- Divya Mistry
Leo were you already on live playing with the Pre? If not, come on live, I wanna see you testing it out live!
- Lise
WOW....FriendFeed is awesome!
- Anthony Campbell
Does the handset feel cheap? Every review I've seen so far said that the sliding mechanism felt loose.
- Ryan Whitwam
rock: didnt leo strongly dislike the storm.
- Anton Tanderup
I'm headed to the sprint store now and demanding one today. I know they have it in stock now. If I succeed I will let you know
- Rock
That's probably a bad move on Palm's part. They should've done what other 3rd party players did get an ID instead of trying to pretend to be an iPod. I bet Apple could take legal action on this issue and win.
- Mack McCoy
I bet this will last until the next system update from Apple :)
- Bryan Lyle
Crazy - wonder if Apple is going to drop the hammer on this soon? Can Palm be sued under the DMCA for this?
- Mike
Wow, Leo, welcome to last week's news: http://is.gd/Pxqp
- John Callaback
I bet Apple reacts within a week
- russellcoleman
Not at all Ryan. It feels great. Palm has hit a home run. I think there are some software flaws - it could be a tad more responsive - but those are easily fixed. I'm buying one tomorrow.
- Leo Laporte
Have heard other people say the same. The Pre Hack
- Asgeir
Leo, will you buy me one tomorrow?
- Trad Robinson
OMG, you have a pre, Canada gets them tomorrow, so Ya!.
- Zachary TG
Presumably this is only non-drm content (in particular no video from your itunes catalog)?
- Dominic
On the Mac. I had read the news reports John, but I wanted to verify it with an actual Pre. Until then it's speculation.
- Leo Laporte
Wow
- Nicholas James
This looks very exciting, but I still think 8gb/lack of expansion card slot will come back to haunt them.
- charles
What do you think of the keyboard?
- Matthew
I'm sure Leo will talk plenty about the Pre on Tomorrow's radio show.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
Uh oh, I'm staying away from this one :)
- jcunwired
I would stay away from an iTunes 8.3 update
- Glenn Trtanj
I headed to buy one now I know they have them in the stores. You think they will cave if I make a big enough stink??
- Rock
Leo's buying a Pre tomorrow? OK, let's all wait a couple of weeks before buying - there's a secret Palm Pre 2.0 coming... ;)
- Andy Bold
I agree let's wait at least 6 weeks after Leo has done a few shows on it. Since he is headed on Vacation again we have to wait. AHHHHHHHHHHH
- Rock
Now I'm glad I didn't push that update just yet!
- ryanmgeeks
Now I want a PrePod!
- Kurt Carty
What Glenn said :)
- Brett Kelly
Thats the link to a 3D spinning version of the Palm Pre
- Rock
Leo you on live? Show us Show us C'mon
- Rock
Apple fail? or PreFail?
- Charles Naut
Charles it's an Apple Fail ;)
- Nicholas James
Leo you have Paul Thurott on now... Get on line show us.
- Rock
Nicholas. Disagree. How could this not be intellectual theft? All the Palm did was hire a hundred fifty Apple people. Rubenstein must've taken some magic Apple dust with him, too. I hope the lawyers don't give Palmista's too many nightmares.
- Phil Boiarski
Looks like photos, unprotected music, and podcasts sync. Not Audible books.
- Leo Laporte
I don't think an iTunes update is going to bork this. If iTunes is recognising iPods based on USB IDs, and the Pre is pushing an iPod USB ID for it's mass storage device, then iTunes updates won't be able to do anything about it without breaking compatibility with iPods that use this USB ID. Taking Palm to court, on the other hand, might do the same thing from a different direction.
- Andy Bold
There's a PalmPre Unboxing on the schedule for 9pm (Pacific) tonight.
- Matthew
ZOMG! I need a pre yesterday!
- Ray
Playing with the SDK before getting to touch the device is all I can do at the moment. Poor me.
- lisa padilla
lol - that's hilarious. wake up iTunes!
- Jennifer
@Matthew, I think he unboxed it already, the time on the schedule is in UTC I think.
- charles
correct... it was just before TWiF today...
- Chris Heath
ahh, curse you time zones!
- Matthew
Hate to intrude, but isn't Gillmor Gang supposed to be on right now? Since, like, half an hour ago?
- Vlad Bobleanta
the schedule has The GG slotted for tomorrow at 3pm pacific
- Chris Heath
Chris: Thanks, when I checked a few hours ago it was slotted today at 4:30 pacific. I checked again now and it has indeed changed.
- Vlad Bobleanta
I still see it on 11:30pm UTC on the twit desktop app.
- charles
charles, i'm still using the old v1.5 version of the twit live air app but it says tomorrow at 10utc
- Chris Heath
Palm Pre looks pretty,i may have to buy one. thanks to leo :)
- John
Old news.
- Matt Ruiz
pre unboxing is rebroadcasting now
- Matthew
Leo: Do you think the Palm Pre is going to be good competition against the iPhone?
- Jason Hansen
With only 8GB's of storage, who cares if it syncs with iTunes. Not like I'd be using it as an iPod.
- Jeff Self
Just thing of all the money apple can make from Palm Pre sales
- Brian Cowie
I was able to get my hands on a Pre for an hour yesterday. As an iphone owner since day 1 I'm very impressed. It has all the glitz and glamour of the iphone with the 2.0 software. ( plus cut, copy and paste and the ability to run multiple apps. Oh yeah and a dedicated keyboard too. All the features worked really well, especially synergy. The calendar app on the Pre makes the iphones implementation look like a really bad try.
- Micheal Weihrouch
that's pretty funny Leo! It looks like a great device. Can't wait too hear what you think about it.
- Kevin M Lindow
Ahh...Assimilate. Well done Apple.
- Mark Krynsky
Yea it is suppose to be able sync (for now) I think. I seem to remember reading something about it.
- Shawn Snodgrass
The Pre USB hack also includes the fact it is made by Palm in the USB ID so it would be easy for Apple to block it. DVD John discovered how they did it
- Iain
Maybe Apple bought out Palm... :P
- Arnold
Oohhhh, Leo... If you can copy DRM free music to the Pre, is Palm condoning piracy?? ;)
- Stan Augustyniewicz
Stan, DRM free music is music that doesn't have DRM (like the amazon store, the iTunes store since the recent change, and other music stores) Loe was just saying that his DRM music didn't transfer over to the Pre
- Chris Heath
Hey, Leo, can you and/or the cottage crew do some sort of evaluation on Palm Pre battery life vs number of apps running in the background?
- Stan Augustyniewicz
from BuddyFeed
Yeah... I don't think Apple are going to let that one slide...
- aminorjourney
*Your* Pre Leo? I thought you just had it on loan for review purposes for a week?

"Paul, I'm sorry you feel my reviewing skills aren't up to scratch. But at the end of the day, any car which is open for a test-drive needs to be in good condition. Poor test-drives lead to less sales. Any vehicle, whatever it's powered by, needs to be good on the day of a test-drive. And yes, I don't deal with much in the way of technical jargon because most people out there are more interested in how a vehicle drives and feels than what's under the hood. I'd also like to point out that as someone who has worked on her own cars for many years, both petrol based, electric and plug in hybrid, I'm not all that technically literate. Perhaps you should read my profile and about some of the EVs and PHEVs I've worked on. Essentially at the end of the day the vehicle overheated. It should not have done. I've since chatted to the ECC who have agreed to let me back to do another test drive at a future date - One which I hope to video and one which I hope will help equalise the negative review I..."

aminorjourney.com : Ev'ie. Another broken dream? - http://www.aminorjourney.com/2009...
"Hi verdict. My aim, when reporting about cars, is to give a realistic representation of what happened when I drove it. And yes, I do try to inject a bit of my own style. I'm sorry if you didn't like it. As for Nürburgring times - how does this help someone looking for a city runabout? Do they really care how fast the car got around a course they'll never drive themselves, or perform in a race situation? No. They want to know if it's reliable, well-priced and what living with the car will be like. Things like trim finish, in-car features and luggage space are probably more important on a daily basis than how fast it goes around a race-track. Perhaps we can agree to disagree. Jeremy Clarkson appears to be the kind of reviewer you may prefer. I'm not him! Nikki."

"I think more of a problem with it all is that Honda don't really want to make hybrids or plug ins. They're sold on the Hydrogen fuel cell and seem a little blinkered I often wonder why Honda seem so reluctant to follow the plug in route. Perhaps they have some connection to the Hydrogen industry we don't know about. Toyota, on the other hand, do seem much more pro EV and pro plug in. RAV4EV aside, of course. Do you think that GM will actually continue with the tech, or do you see it branching off and being brought up by an independent company in an elaborate asset-stripping exercise?"

Perhaps this is the time we step up to the plate and let the UK government know that in order for the plan to work we really do need more incentive, more choice and a quicker start.

aminorjourney.com : When did you last fill up? - http://www.aminorjourney.com/2009...
"Oh yes, absolutely. And I know if the trip were reversed we'd probably be doing the same thing (but in a plug in of course!) My real alarm though is that how we (or most of us) quite unwittingly fall into the trap of making small, unnecessary trips on a regular basis without really thinking about how or why we're making them. While I've been here I've seen people drive across a parking lot to get from one shop to the next, just like I've witnessed many times in the UK. I think those of us who drive can all stop and think about responsible car use and maybe make alternative arrangements (or buy an alternative form of transport) for those really short trips."
