Yep, as per the others, for the 3GS go for it. For the 3G owners I'd stick to OS3.1, it made my 3G so laggy I've just recieved a 3GS this morning. -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs.

I'm starting to see a few reports around the 'Net (and from SWMBO) that 3GSs have poorer battery life after installing iOS4. Anyone else seeing this?

I think Apple should have advised 3G owners not to install especially as you can't revert it, they've managed to downgrade my iPhone! Lynn Live for today, as tomorrow is not promised

I haven't noticed any deterioration. The only app I have that eats the battery is CoPilotLive, but that has issues with IOS4 relating to the safety camera database which is easy to overcome. -- http://www.dream-weaver.com/email.php Web development promotion and seo http://www.spaldingcomputers.co.uk http://www.overseasmovingsolutions.com/
