Argh, it’s such a timesuck upgrading my jailbroken iPhone to the latest iPhone firmware/OS. I have T-Mobile so I have to keep my iPhone jailbroken/unlocked. It’s easier than you would think (initially) but I’m still reminded of how annoying it is (1) every time I try to install some cool-looking app just to find that it runs only on the very latest iPhone OS, and (2) every time I open iTunes and that damned dialog pops up (‘Hey, you haven’t updated to the latest iPhone version. I know I’ve asked you like 527 times already but gosh, don’t you really want to upgrade?’)
Yes. I’m looking for the button that says “Yes, damn it, I do want to, but I don’t have five hours right now to waste re-jailbreaking and re-unlocking my phone afterwards, and then re-syncing 15GB of music and apps, just so I can run Sportacular.”
Why is it so hard to write iPhone apps that are back-compatible with “ancient” 2.1 which everyone was running, what, two months ago? Aren’t they all just glorified javascript apps anyway? Blurg.
I miss my sidekick. Kinda.
