iPhone 2.0.1 Update Now Available (Also Available For iPod Touch)

Jason Chen — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:11:59 EDT

A reader just tipped us off to the iPhone 2.0.1 update being out RIGHT NOW. Just fire up your iTunes and click the old update button and you'll be able to grab it. We're updating now and will let you know what's different. Right now all we see is "Bug Fixes" listed under the changelog, but there's a security update info link in the update screen as well, so it might be that. [Thanks tipster!]

Update: It's an E. Honda-like 249MB, so this will take a few minutes to download.

Update 2: iPod Touch users can also update.

Update 3: The didn't wipe out our media (pics, vids, tunes) on the iPhone 3G. Awesome.

Update 4: Is it me, or does flipping pages on the home screen seem faster and smoother?

Update 5: Marcelo says iTunes sync and backup is faster. Anyone else agree?

Update 6: Confirmed that it doesn't work with Pwnage tool just yet.

PS3 Firmware 2.01 Released, Fixes 2.0 &#*@ Ups

PS3 firmware version 2.01 has been unleashed upon the masses. There are no true updates beyond more stable PS2 game emulation, but consider the issues people were having with 2.0 fixed:

The PSP is supposed to boot the PS3 remotely much more smoothly now (it worked for us before, connecting was slow). And PS3 stability is also said to be improved on the XMB. We hope that the PS3 stability branches means that some of the new in-game crashes have been resolved, because while we like themes as much as the next guy, we'd prefer to, you know, be able to play games.
