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.
- AJ Batac
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

- 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.

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.

Maybe you could ask the developer of the TWiT Live Desktop to integrate an options panel where users can select which stream they'd like: Ustream, Stickam, or BitGravity.

Great solution, much better than Stickam.

BG really sucks in The Netherlands, keeps buffering, audio is out of sync on Ustream

Same thing in Canada...
- Philippe Guitard
Thanks to BitGravity I can stream from my iphone to my laptop anywhere in my country even in train!! Simply AWESOME!!!!

I love the new popout. It's perfect in Chrome as an application shortcut. Now I have an instant "Leo on my desktop" that hangs off to the side while I'm working.

don't understand why twit has 3 live streams now. more choices i guess. leo's gotta have a FAT upstream pipe.
- Cole Orton
or, rather, alpha-numeric soup. *head spins*

Same reason you'd post to Viddler, Vimeo, and YouTube: more distribution. Reliability, too.

Steve: Just wondering, real name or 70's TV fan?

@Iain It's really quite easy, AMD & Nvidia have new GPU designs every 18-24 months, and in the time in between, they keep Ryan busy by making ever new graphics cards based on the same GPUs
- Martin
Thar we go
- ralphsaunders
the first Ion platform realized... this will be cool
- Chris Heath
I guess if I got back into playing games again like I used to then I would see the difference
- Iain
I think Ion is very intriguing

2. Acer AspireRevo - first system with NVIDIA ION 1. http://www.pcper.com/comment...
- Leo Laporte
Can it handle video ?
- archaictree
Does anyone else find the BitGravity feed more processor intensive than Stickam?
- Norm Corriveau
Surely the target market for Ion is HTPC
- Iain
Ion is nice in concept, I just don't see why you'd want to pay extra for games or HD content in a netbook
- Martin
A nice little box under the TV
- Iain
Intel intros 2GHz Atom http://is.gd/rGra
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Yeah, I think that's its true home

I want to build an HTPC. Ion sounds like a possible choice.
- archaictree
Me too Otis
- Iain
Xbox360 has a lot of limitations that bug the heck out of me at the moment

Vista with a 1.6 GHz Atom is probably not the nicest of experiences
- Martin
It looks great.
- archaictree
It's not actually that bad Martin - my MSI Wind runs ok but obviously not gaming etc
- Iain
Video playback is pretty good on the Wind - Windows 7 runs better on it though
- Iain
easily upgradable? for bigger hd?
- Steve Austin
@Ian That's good to know.
- Martin
yeah... needs more processor punch...
- Steve Austin
The later Win7 builds run better and better as well so hopefully by RTM it will be a lovely experience

Ooo that Acer is £180 in the UK
- Iain
I was just thinking heat probs... just need to put valences in the casing...
- Steve Austin
How much power does a low-end Celeron take? 15W? 25W? Compared to the 3W Atom, quite a bit extra.

I'm very fond of the Atom processors

They still haven't figured the below 193nm light sources and masks out

Netbooks are doing so well due to the economy but even so they are a great little platform that I can't keep away from... my MSI Wind gets used all the time

heat was the issue with ghz speed, but the nm processes kept going smaller (moore's law in effect) exactly leo and ryan

40 Nanometers = 0.0000015748031496062992 Inches
- Steve Austin
It is staggering how they can manufacture something so small

I thought the atom processor had limitations to what it could be used in - like a 10 inch screen
- Iain
markets ebb and flow... like cars... people are dropping their 22" rimmed Hummers for hybrid Hondas... but when things get better the pendulum will swing back...

It's quite remarkable what you can do with 40+ years and a probably a hundred billion dollars in R&D money

- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Why express compatibility in terms of products. There's a consensus on how to do thumbnails, why not just support the consensus? Here's the result of the investigation I did back in January. http://www.scripting.com/stories... and an example page. http://discuss.flickrfan.org/2009... Seems to me if I link to that page in FF, you should show the thumb. Why not??
- Dave Winer
I went ahead and tested it and as before it does not recognize the thumb. http://friendfeed.com/e... The reason you should do this is that you encourage entrepreneurship on FF as a platform. If I can deliver a beautiful feature for your product without you having to do *anything* that gives us a chance to become big through FF. If you only work with people who are already big, you make sure innovation happens elsewhere first
- Dave Winer
Dave, the bookmarklet will automatically pick up those thumbs (and you can remove them by clicking on them). Automatically pulling them in anytime a link is shared is an interesting idea, but we have to be a little careful about user intention. In the case of twitpic, they obviously wanted to share the image, but if I just post a random link via twitter, it's not clear that I also want to share whatever image it is that the author of that page set as the thumbnail (which could be anything).

It is quite different UI. Took a few minutes to figure out where everything is, but now that I'm used to it I like it a lot.
- Robert Scoble
Great improvements. Quick install, lightweight design and much better video call quality - at least on the one call that I made!
- Manuel
I do like the UI, need more time to check it out, but first impressions are quite good, thx for the news, Robert!
- Sylwia Presley
Latest Mac version is still 2.8 BETA :/
- Marek
Skype 2.8 Beta for OSX - will it get this new Skype 4.0 Win codec set? Product feature divergence between platforms is ... worrisome.
- Dossy Shiobara
For those who prefer multiwindow mode - there's a special button in top-right corner, near minimize/maximize/close buttons.
- Boris Тylevich
can´t see any interesting changes yet. should test a conf video call all together
- Cem Dalgic
I have been using the beta for a while... I haven't been impressed with the UI.
- Mike Wills
I tried the beta some months ago, and was not taken with the new UI, might try it again, see if I take to it
- Carl Grint
I've been running 4.0 beta for quite some time now. Works fine here, and on Win 7 too. I use it for both IM, and for phone calls. MUCH cheaper than a landline (got rid of that some years ago, so stop sending me crap to get me to join up AT&T. I don't want your overpriced suckage).

I think once you get used to the UI it's more logical, and more compact, and everything is easier to get to.

Few lame things... Version only for Windows. Not for Mac or Linux, even in BETA. You're very limited in the conversation window customization, so group chats can be difficult to follow. Alternating background or text colors would be nice. When you separate a discussion window and maximize it, the conversation history and text area does not maximize to full width. It stays at a fixed width of around 700px. Other than that, the UI is pretty nice and there seem to be some good improvements. Overall... it's OK.

something I have always found to be really shoddy is with your credit "It doesn't expire, but if you don't use it within a certain time frame you lose it".. um that *is* expiry you dolts!

In WinXP SP3, the Camera/Video settings do NOT change from WebCamMax (one of the video drivers I have), even tho all available options appear in dropdown menu. Changing it to CamSplitter should work, but Skype 4 wont take the click. Going back to v3 until fixed got to have the splitter working)

from twhirl
If you are not interested in "back and forth", you need not post. Loading a link properly? If you mean, clicking on the tinutrl you provided, that is what I tried. I shall attempt again. This time I will cut and paste the link into another browser, as this is necessary sometimes due to improper parsing of tinyurl (they soemtimes use ilegal characters in their urls, rare, but it does occur)
- CLC Radio
atul, I just now was auto-logged on as "FF" with some ******* password - THIS is the first time I logged in. Obviously someone else decided to use "CLCRadio" those 2 times as a username. I can't help that. When clicking the tinyurl link you provided from within friendfeed, I get the search engine page I mentioned before. This is all just FYI, and not meant as a comment on you (some comment was necessary just to figure out what is wrong with tinyurl and let them know about the parsing issue)
- CLC Radio
I downloaded, updated and found I was still running 3.8 ...
- Gary Thom
I just need to say right away here and now, although my techniques for getting a hold of an issue are rather rude at times (I know this), I need to publicly acknowledge Atul Abraham as officially NOT a spammer. I have recently discovered that certain tinyurls do not parse well in SeaMonkey browser, and often is required of us SM users to refresh from tinyurls and other url sqaushers. Atul's video conf product looks very promising , is free to use, but Atul is not a spammer! No way!

Nice! I'm going to try it out, was in need of copy paste on Friday. Will report back!
- Simon Wicks
Works quite well, nice and simple. Copy paste buttons appear above the normal keyboard when 123 is pressed, covering the view of the text input area. I tried copying sms text (when writing a text) and then pasting that same text into a note, worked fine, no problems. I like!
- Simon Wicks
One downside (so far), you can only copy text you write in a text message, you cant copy text you have already received. That kinda sucks.

This is still beta, so that maybe fixed in future

New update makes it a bit weirder for me to highlight things. Sometimes its highlight, sometimes it just the magnifier.. Will have to keep playing to see how im supposed to do it.

Another update again this morning. Best one yet. Double tap to get the text select tool up now. Double tap incoming texts to copy those. You can now copy more than one item into the stack, and choose from the stack which you want to paste. can close the copy/paste options when you hit 123. And its slightly transparent so you can see behind the options box which covered the input box before.
- Simon Wicks
thanks for the tip, Simon. Will check it out later today.
- Baard @ Pixum
Kevin - If you try to take it in for repairs with it jailbroken they wont accept it. I had troubles with mine and just reset to factory settings, put the regular fiimware back on and they didnt question it. You're not opening it up and tinkering with the guts of it, its only firmware, so it shouldn't be an issue. Thats what i think anyway.
- Simon Wicks
Yeah. Plug it in as you normally would, so it syncs and does a back up. Once you jailbreak it you can restore from that backup and get all your contacts, emails, photo's, texts etc back. It will be just the same as it was before you did it, but jailbroken.
- Simon Wicks
Yet another update for Clippy today too! Now supports more languages, confirmation when clearing the stack, and proper sync between background apps. Cant say i'd had any trouble with the background thing since yesterdays, but hey, some people must of.
- Simon Wicks
If you just google for iphone jailbreak guides you get loads of results. Here's one: http://www.iphonehacks.com/jailbre... You cant yet jailbreak the latest release of the firware that was released a couple of days ago. If you have already upgraded you can still jailbreak, but you will need to use the older firmware when you create your new one, if that makes sense?
- Simon Wicks
If you really want to newest firmware to jailbreak, wait when iPhone Dev Team makes new release of QuickPwn or Pwnagetool: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

I'm running Windows 7 too and find it great, but, sorry, it won't be Windows 95 time of lines in front of stores to get it. I'd be shocked if that happened.
- Robert Scoble
from Bookmarklet
highly doubt it. Too many players (Mac OS X, Linux and even Solaris) on x86 platform compared to Win95 era.
- Rom Feria
Thing is that at a glance, it's Vista. Win95 was drastically different in appearance from Win3.11 or NT4. One way or another, that was part of its allure (though the fact that many people were still on DOS also helped) and by learning the 'Vista lesson' of not changing too drastically, MS may have made the Win7 sell all the harder. It just comes of too much as a service pack for Vista - I know that's always the criticism of new Windows releases but it's a fact.
- mattpovey
I think MS has the means, and talent to make it happen, but are top heavy. I'm hoping W7 can be their Renaissance but it means a very careful release to market, unlike Vista
- Mo Kargas
Definitely, I have my 2 laptops and 3 desktops on Win 7 now, they work so well together. Can't wait for Win 7 to hit RTM.
- Tom Warren
it works great on my netbooks, so it will work great on platforms with some more performance. The look and feel... yeah i am barely switching back to my XP and Ubuntu system. I think i like it :p
- Sascha Pallenberg
Windows 95 glory days? From a retail perspective, yes, from a user perspective, no. I remember IE constantly crashing whilst bringing down the rest of the OS? If you think Vista is slow, then Win95 on 4Meg was horrific, even 8Meg was terrible.
- Paul Grav
Win7 rocks. It's not Vista, it does a lot more. People won't be standing in line to buy it but they'll be downloading it like crazy during the betas and installing it in droves when it releases if this momentum continues.
- Randy Holloway
from twhirl
I'm yet to try Win 7, but with all the positive reviews I'm reading, I'm sure it's pretty good compared to Vista. But whether it will bring back the glory days of Windows 95, I doubt it. And Microsoft can thank (partially) Vista for that.
- Umit Namli
Absolutely lovin' Windows 7 since I 'adjusted it' to my own needs. It's fast, adaptable and friendly for non-techies.
- Charlie Anzman
win95 was not the glory days.. win95 and NT4 did share a lot of UI design, though the two were different at their core - NT being a native 32bit kernel with DOS stripped from under it.Personally I'd say the move from NT4 to 2000 was their biggest leap. The move from a WINS based system to a native DNS powered OS and the addition of an LDAP based system was such a leap.
- alphaxion
I'm going to agree with 95, simply because 95's UI and organisation was far superior to win 3.11, not to mention the ability to multi-task better
- Mo Kargas
mattpovey, don't mean to nitpick here but NT4 was released about a year after Win95 and (along with other changes) had the Win95 UI style.
- Yuval Atzmon
my biggest complaint about the vista/win7 UI changes is that it now takes longer for anyone with any proficiency to do the most simple of tasks.. want to change the network settings? I used to be able to right click on network places and select properties. Now I have to select a link from the side of the network centre before I get to edit my connections. It's just so frustrating "oh, you want to do more than browse the internet and launch a few apps? screw you, here's 15 more screens to navigate!!"
- alphaxion
It's all right for Windows, but I went right back to my OSX
- Phil Boiarski
The buzz surrounding Windows 7 is electric, I will be installing the beta onto my main desktop replacing Vista later this week. I think MS got it right this time. About time too!
- Nigel Kitchen
I'm still using XP, and I've turned off all the UI bloat to make it as close to a Windows 98 feel as possible. Thankfully, I spend almost no time on my Windows machine - OS X and GNOME solve 95% of my problems, and a rarely turned-on Windows box is there for the rest.
- Tom Morris
@nigel I'd seriously recommend against updating your main system with it.. it's time limited and still in development. There's plenty of bugs yet to rear its ugly head and you could lose data. A good example of this is the media player 12 bug with the default config to pull info from the internet chopping off a few seconds from the start of mp3s. Keep your main rig as it is until the OS ships.
- alphaxion
alphaxion: Vista/Windows7 are customizable. For the Network connections you can create a shortcut.. Use "C:\Windows\explorer.exe ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}"
- Alex Sauceda
@alex point being that as an administrator I can be coming into contact with different machines on a daily basis and shouldn't have to do that for basic OS functionality across them all. I'm aware as to why they included the "network centre" as it's important for the new networking stack, but they should have set it up as a different icon in the control panel instead of altering my right-click network -> properties shortcut.
- alphaxion
I agree that they buried the configuration even more than in XP.

The real killer feature for Windows 7 would be a little dialog box at the beginning of the upgrade process that simply says "If you proceed with this upgrade, you will lose N days of productivity to trying to troubleshoot drivers, software incompatibilities, and reinstallation of incompatible programs; to re-learning simple UI tasks; and to experimenting with superficial cosmetic changes, all for marginal UX and performance gains . Do you want to continue? Yes / No"

Previously as a test, I upgrade installed the Windows 7 6801 beta on a Vista 32 machine that was heavily used (over 1400 installed applications) and was shocked to see it that not only did everything still work (Zonealarm, LogMeIn, MICROSOFT FINGERPRINT READER!), but it was MUCH snappier and startup and shutdown was significantly better.
