iPhone Firmware 2.0.2 Released
As predicted in a last minute rumor, Apple has released the 2.0.2 firmware for the iPhone.
Apple helpfully describes the contents of the update as "Bug Fixes". It's not yet known if this software updates fixes rumored 3G connectivity issues. Steve Jobs was said to have promised a software patch "soon" to address that issue.
Early reports:
- Subjective reports of things being faster (though these reports are common with any update)
- No consensus on improved 3G connectivity
- iPod Touch firmware 2.0.2 also released
- Netshare still works

it won't fix 3G connectivity most likely as iPod Touch has the 2.0.2 update as well

I'll wait and see what this is going to do, reception sucks with 2.0 or 2.0.1 but I could still make and receive calls.
Apple is seriously starting to be like M$

Your point is? They fixed some bug fixes, but all the 3G downloads are larger than the iPhone EDGE downloads, which are larger than the iPod Touch downloads, so likely they had the base OS update, then an EDGE update, and then a 3G update depending on which device is downloading the update.
