To see which apps are "multitasking," you double-click on the round button. You will see 4 apps lined up across the bottom, and if you scroll them sideways you will see a lot more...in my case, 17 apps. I was able to turn a couple of them off by holding down the app until they begin to quiver, then selecting individual apps. However, most of them don't seem to want to go to sleep...like Hal from the movie 2001. |

Engadget review said they got 38 hours on a charge in mixed use, with networking.

this ringtone is actually out there, just attach it to anything you like. SMS, calls, failed call, etc. :-)

try the macrumors.com forum, there will be a ringtone thread with a link to a download and ringtones in there. Then, just bring them OVER to your itunes library and they will be added to your itunes and then sync'd with your iphone. then, just select that ringtone for whatever action you want. The number of actions is somewhat limited, but incoming call, alert, sms, new message etc. can all be linked with specific ringtones.

There is also a HAL 9000 battery icon in the Cydia repository. Depending on just how much of a 2001 geek you are? :)

Thanks. Im dumb about this. Where do you find them other than the iTunes store? And how do you attach them?

I just downloaded OS 4.0 for my 3G. So far it's been about an hour and the progress window says it's still backing up the iPhone. Any experience out there with how long the upgrade on a 3G might take? I'll post my results when it finishes.
Edited to add: it's a 16GB phone with 3.91GB free |

I wish apple would create a comparison chart so that 3G users know they will get before taking the plunge to upgrade. |
Restoring the OS didn't take long, maybe an hour for my 3G.
But then restoring your last backup with your Apps., for me I left it going overnight because it was taking all evening and iTunes indicated which app. it was installing. Very slow process but I had like 5-6 GB of apps. |

That'll be news to Apple, they've said that the white won't be available until July! :D

Apple announced manufacturing "challenges" as the reason for the delay of the white ones.
Maybe you don't want to pick up one of the early batches that made it out before they realized these issues. |
