Things to do while waiting for the iPhone update

By Mel Martin

Today is a day of waiting. Waiting for Apple to send out the version 3.0 update. Waiting for the update to download. Waiting for the firmware to update, and then the restore of your apps and settings to finish. That's a lot of screen staring. Here's some helpful hints on things you can do while you wait.... and wait.

  • Consider how nice it would be to send an MMS, but that involves more waiting (if you're an AT&T customer), maybe until fall
  • Think about how to unload your current iPhone on eBay so you can get the 3G S and go through more reloading fun
  • Pretend you can tether (thanks AT&T)
  • Start making a list of all the missing features in version 3.0
  • Prepare a note to TUAW saying reception is much better with the update (or worse)
  • Prepare a note to TUAW complaining that reception hasn't changed
  • Plan what your first tune will be after you update, or who you will call first (but they are updating too and won't be able to answer)
  • Dream about your first copy and paste

See, it's easy to pass the time. Happy updating! What will you be doing?
