Couldn't have been easier. And I've spent way too much time goin' through everything on Cydia - it's like someone's turned on a light in a dimly lit room! This is so friggin' awesome. :)

yeah, where's my free software that 50 guys have been working on for zero compensation? this is an outrage!

I hope there is sarcasm in there. I hope for your sake. Its free. Why complain?
OH wait, you people complain if it costs money and if its free, whats the point in reasoning.

so borrow a mac for 20 minutes. or stick with 3.0. it's not as if 3.1 offers much anyways.

im pretty sure you can downgrade and then just re-sync - it wont force an upgrade just cuz yer syncing.

I thank the dev teams for their hard work, but it seems unnecessary.

Unitl I have an iPhone I pirated every software update. I charging for a firmware update is completely rediculous.

We all know (or should know) why they do it, but it doesn't it make it right.
Like many have said, not only are all the Zune updates free, but as much as possible they even retrofit the older out of date models with new features and a new UI. When would apple ever do something like that?
And since some of you for some reason seem to think updating a Zune is somehow different than upgrading a more powerful ipod touch with a "revolutionary" OS...
The PSP, PS3, and 360 also get 100% completely free updates for life, and their OS's are more powerful than the iTouch's, the PS3's and the 360's 100X over.

It's like when a webpage doesnt view properly in firefox but not in IE. It's the webpage and IE that's broken, not firefox. Even though the page works in IE.
In this case, apple lied about Exchange support.

"The iPhone is the greatest business device ever"
"Is that a 3G?, let's see you update it to 3.1"
"Jerk"

Now then, aren't you glad they fixed it?

Not owning an iPhone, I cannot figure out my own answer. Can you go backwards in OS versions?

1) Am I commenting?
2) Is it about Apple breaking something?
3) Does the comment seem to be something other than favorable?
If you answered yes to all three questions, then I'm being a sarcastic ass. If you answered no to any of these questions, then I'm just being an ass in general.

iPhone 3.1 upgrade: $5.00
Does that look right?

Snow leopard $30
iphone 3.1 $5
the thought of not using Microsoft = priceless

I have an iPhone so I don't have this problem, but I wouldn't bitch about someone using the pirated firmware...
Think about it, NO OTHER MACHINE NEEDS A PAYMENT TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE.
OS, it's another deal, but how would you feel if you had to pay for every Windows security update?

The difference being that most consumer electronics devices do not get their software/firmware updated on a regular basis. Just look at all the camera users (5D mk II [for 24p, they already got a different one], GH1, etc,) begging for firmware updates and they get maybe one or a minor one during the device's lifespan. It's a little crazy. I for one am happy that Apple has a platform wherein the software can stay constant over multiple generations of hardware. Paying sucks, but it's better than having no updates at all.
