That's some fast response Apple for the database cache non-issue!
Meanwhile Google is still tracking Fandroids in almost real time.

When was the last time we saw a maintenance release that actually addressed real issues with the OS?
I miss the days when an update would say: "Addresses general stability, bug fixes, and performance improvements."

Anyone know if there's an app that saves similar data? I travel a fair bit and found the mapping quite nice to display.

When is Apple going to figure out how to implement software patches instead of forcing people to download a whole copy of the OS for every little update?

Nope, your device is no longer supported by apple.
That's not a good argument. You forget that this is not a feature. It's a matter of privacy and how iOS uses your data.
So, to me, Apple must give a fix to 3G users too. They can send iPhone 3G users a 4.2.2 for example.

Try turning off features you're not using. I'm unfortunately using an Android phone at the moment, but I was able to get battery life up to about a week by turning off GPS, WiFi, etc. It has been a while since I used an iPhone, but I imagine you might be able to do something similar.
A WEEK iPhone battery life? Even if you cripple the phone by disabling features, there's still no way it would last even close to a week unless it's in sleep mode the entire time

It's easier for them to do whole copies of the OS every time because people could go from iPhone OS 2.0 to iOS 4.3.3 if need be without having to patch to every subsequent release. It also cuts down on the risk of corruption.
