Yep, the iPhone works much better again.
- iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 2 seems to be much more stable than the first Beta.
- Maps doesn’t freeze as it did in the first Beta.
- Apple appropriately replaces the “Publish Movie” option with “Publish Photo” when sending picture to MobileMe Gallery.
- Boot-up time is much faster.
- Back-up time with iTunes is much faster.
- Voice Memos works much faster.
Notes:
- The “Purple Screen” happened on 2 iPhone 1,1 and 1 iPod touch 1,1 while it was a smooth upgrade on an iPhone 3G.
- After the “Purple Screen” showed up, the iPhones and the iPod touch went into DFU mode.
- Restoring the iPhones and the iPod touch was then successful.
