mac users...download and unzip the file. then, go in to itunes with your phone connected, hold "option" and click "check for updates" (or whatever...can't remember exactly). browse to the newly downloaded file, and bob's your uncle!

windows...same deal, except "option" = "ctrl+shift"

this is the real software pack from apple...they just haven't gotten it to d/l through itunes yet. and just so you all know, 2.0 has already been jailbroken

i had a wonderful time last night, i updated to 7.7 itunes, and it takes about 5 minutes to recognize my ipod touch. Hopefully when i put 2.0 on it later today it will smooth out.

Drove by AT&T today about 1400 and there was no line! So I went inside and talked to a buddy there. There were people camped out since 1300 the day before. They sold out of about 200 phones before noon. They are saving a couple for tomorrow's sales which will be first come first serve. I'll pick one up in a few days. No rush. Reminds me of my days camping outside for Rolling Stones tickets or or other bands. Now the kids camp out for phones. Wow.

I've been waiting for 3G to get an iPhone and I went to the AT&T store at lunchtime today to order one and get laptop connect. I say order one because I knew there wouldn't be any on hand by the time I got there and I couldn't and wouldn't wait in line overnight.

Ordered the 16GB in Black ... we'll see how long it takes to fullfill.

I also broke down and got the Laptop Connect setup as I travel a lot and can't always find a wifi hotspot. I'll dump my Tmobile account so the $60/month won't feel so bad.

The iPhone and iPod are the only mac things I'd own. I'd never own a computer by apple. Yeech! Oh yea, they look pretty.

There were a line of dumba$$es on the news in Odessa last night. And we don't even have the 3g network yet. One lady was spending the night to get an iPhone for her 11 year old. That must be one insecure / overindulged 11 year old. Only thing I like an iPhone does better than my BB is spreadsheets. Trying to look at a spreadsheet on a BB is pointless.

My favorite iPhone page- The iPhone is a piece of ****, and so is your face.
