Deleting videos is a lot faster in 4.x - I'm downloading the Tour de
France highlights everyday to watch on the train home and have to
delete the old one as I don't have enough space. It used to just sit
there for ages (no progress bar :-().

My 2 cents John is STAY on 3.1.3 !!

I am finding 4.01 a 'little' faster than 4.0 but it could be temporary
and if it is I have all the instructions ready and printed out now t try
to roll back to 3.1.3

Best of luck

OK, good idea!

I told iTunes to download and install, went and did a few things to get
ready for work and it was installed and wanting me to unlock my SIM by
the time I got back, so less than 15 minutes. Assuming a reasonably fast
Internet connection (the file downloaded is almost 400 MB).
