After nearly 3 weeks of waiting, Apple has finally posted the firmware 2.0.1 update tonight. The new firmware is available through software update and allegedly is a “bug-fixes” only update. It addresses all iPhone and iPod touch owners running the iPhone 2.0 software.
Some initial feedback suggest the following fixes have been addressed:
•You can now drag an app icon across multiple pages in one motion, rather than having to drag it, drop it, pick it up again and drag it over to next page, and repeat.
•Contacts are now more responsive.
•After installing 2.0.1, each successive backup is much faster.
•Apple may have changed the calibration of the iPhone’s reception “bars” while connected to a 3G network to reflect a stronger signal than before.
•Keypad loads quicker.
•Some apps may ask to be updated after the firmware upgrade.
