iOS 4.0.1 on Apple's website

Anyone following Apple, or anyone that owns an iPhone4 will know of the antenna issues. The whole “death grip” that causes the iPhone4 to lose signal if you hold it in a certain corner. A problem that Apple insists is present in all devices. Whilst this is technically true (so far I’ve managed to make a Motorola V3, iPhone3G and iPhone4 lose signal by squeezing them for a period of time) it’s obviously more noticeable in the iPhone4 (and much easier to do too).

We take a look at iOS 4.0.1 released shortly before Apple’s recent keynote and considering all the hype about the “antennagate”, does iOS 4.0.1 really solve all the issues in the iPhone?

So, a couple of days ago Conor posted an excellent post on WordPress for iPhone. Even though ironically I’m writing this post on WordPress for iPad, I think it’s only fair to review Tumblr for iPhone, since Tumblr is an excellent blogging service but not close enough to rival WordPress (which I will explain in a later post).

Tumblr. The easiest way to blog.

But from the iPhone, it’s even easier!

Where to start, is the question. I’ve had this application installed for a good while now, but have never got around to actually reviewing it. However, as it’s a rather nice little free application, I thought I’d review it right now from the comfort of my bed. Note: this entire post has been written from the application from an iPod touch.

Well the time has come, iOS4 is now available to download via iTunes for the iPhone 3GS along with it’s younger brother, the iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch third and second generation.

You have to have iTunes 9.2 and some features like Multitasking will not be available on the iPhone 3G or the iPod Touch second generation.

Go and grab it now!

So we’ve been using iOS4 for about a day, and here is our extensive review on all of Apple’s new features.

Please note: Some features are not available on earlier devices, like the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G. All features work on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 3G. However, with a little bit of jailbreaking you can enable those missing features on your earlier devices. More on jailbreaking iOS4 in the future.

So without further delay, here is our review on Apple’s iOS 4 that will be accompanying the iPhone 4 during its release (end of June).
