The GM is released on the Dev portal. I am more than aware what a GM is. I know it is the version, barring a major bug find, that the public get. The point is that the public get the public release, they never get the GM in name. While they are often one and the same, Devs get the file designated GM before it goes public.
Go "educate" someone else. My God.
so a baseband change is the only thing apple can do in a month, truly innovative!
Hurry up Apple, I want my 5 icon dock and SBSettings back!
