I didn’t upgrade my iPhone 3G last year because I didn’t want to extend my contract with 3 for an extra 24 months for an iPhone 3Gs. As expected, Apple is releasing the iPhone 4 this year. There’s a lot of enhancement with the new iPhone 4. And most importantly, is that there’s also an upgrade with the OS, iOS 4.
I wanted to try out some new features with my existing iPhone 3G so I upgraded it through iTunes. It was such a hassle getting it upgraded. The back up took forever! So I searched for it online, just to make sure I’m not alone. Turns out, a lot of iPhone 3G users are experiencing the same problem. The tip was to download the new OS via iTunes then instead of performing an upgrade, I should be doing a restore. It only took about 90 mins for the entire restoring process.
Immediately after the upgrade, I find that the new features are really good. For example the unified inbox in mail, folders for apps, spell check, so on. Soon, I come to realise that the phone is much slower in some aspects. Like texting for instance. It’s really slow! I’ve also come to notice that a lot of new apps just couldn’t run. Not that it would crash while using it, it won’t even launch.
I know that the iPhone 4 will be in stores in Hong Kong this month. So I guess I’ll just have to be patient for the time being. I should survive 30 days!

The TNT deliver guy turned up yesterday after the mailing room staff have left. So my Snow Leopard parcel got returned to the depot and had to be re-delivered this morning. I got to the office around 3 in the afternoon, picked up the parcel then went straight to my partition, ready for the upgrade.
Since I’ve prepared my MacBook for the upgrade a few days ago, I slotted the installation disc in and Snow Leopard was being installed.
The installation took around an hour so I kept working on the work pc.
After almost an hour, it was done!
A really weird pop up window appeared upon the first start up.
Did know what this was about, so I tried to find it out online. Anyways, after a long search here and there, I gave up. Picked up the phone and rang Apple Support. The technician didn’t know why there’s such a pop up window but what he knew was that System Events.app is an application on the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install Disc and he was very positive about it. So I decided to eject the DVD and reboot the system, just to see if this window pops up again. The answer was, no. So it’s all good now!
I’ve only been using my Snow Leopard MacBook for 2-3 hours to this point and I’ve already found a lot of enhancements! Here are some of the obvious ones!
Well, that’s it so far. It’s getting late and I’m super sleepy today. Will keep you guys updated when I find out more interesting features yet not publicised as much.

There are heaps more apps that I use every now and then but the list would be too long. Well… what apps have you been using? Were they social networking apps? Games? or what apps do you use on a daily basis?
