Despite the slew of articles reporting activation problems with the new iPhones and software updates on the existing phones, my update went smoothly. I was hoping the software would be available late Thursday night or early Friday morning. But not so much. Apple was dead set on getting everything timed just right. And sure enough, they got a big fat server meltdown. I waited until around 7 last night - no problems.
I had already downloaded maybe a dozen apps from the Apps Store. As soon as the software update was complete, I piled on the programs (most are under a megabyte). So far, my favorites include Weatherbug (the radar view is great for watching the afternoon Florida thunderstorms), Remote, which turns the iPhone into a remote for household computers and AppleTVs. So there's no need to get off the couch to select a new song. The New York Times app is also pretty solid. I tried a French translator program which contains a good range of phrases (complete with audio) - everything from finding the bathroom to pick up lines. And I bought the game Enigmo - also impressive, but it seems to a battery drainer.
