iPhone OS 3.0 was just released into the wild! Start your download and let us know how it goes…

Updates Follow!!!


iTunes-11

UPDATE: 1:21PM EST

Apple hits users of their products with more than a few limitations. “You can do this, you can’t do that.” “This app is in, this app is out.” It can all be a bit annoying.

Here’s what’s not.

iTunes says, “An update is available”

Two clicks of a mouse later and the new OS is being downloaded and installed.

It moves forward as smoothly as can be and…

less than 15 minutes later the process is all but complete.

Sure it can be a pain to deal with Apple’s ever-moving boundaries. The trade off however is an update process that could not be simpler. In fact, loading an entirely new OS on my iPhone right now was as easy, or even easier, than loading an application on the WM-running Epix or the Symbian-running E71 I used a few weeks ago.

Update: 1:24pm EST

iTunes-12

Update 1:29PM EST

Total time loading OS 3.0 start to finish…less than 30 minutes!

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
