Just updated my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1 beta 2. The beta 1 already did a good job in improving the UI responsiveness over iOS 4.0 but beta 2 acts like a turbo! No more delays and snappy interface – almost feels like an iPhone 3GS. In my previous post I mentioned the clogged iPhone 3G after unlock. Now this issue has been completely remedied. Even apps seem to start faster. Wow!

With yesterday’s update of Yammer for iPhone to version 3.0 it resumed working. In my previous review article about the new iOS 4 Yammer was one of the few apps not compatible with iOS 4. The app started correctly and showed the account list but didn’t let you go further. Selecting an account either crashed the application or just didn’t do anything.
Apple just released the GM (Golden Master) candidate for developers. I downloaded and tested the new iOS 4 yesterday on my iPhone 3G 16GB. I skipped the betas as it’s currently my only phone and some of the betas were reported to render the iPhone pretty unstable.
This final release of the new iPhone OS 4 (now called iOS 4 as its range of target devices has been extended to iPhone, iPod and iPad) works fine and stable on my old iPhone 3G. I still can’t record videos and have to pass the multitasking feature due to lack of CPU power.
Finally the new MacHeist nanoBundle is out now. It’ll just be available for purchase during the next 7 days. So get your copy now for only $19.95! Regular MacHeisters get an additional $2 discount.

Have tried the iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5 for a couple of days now and am not too impressed. Tethering, Copy/Paste and A2DP were the main features I wanted to use early. Copy and Paste work.

This offer will probably end at 00:00 ET on Apr 7th 2009.
I just installed Skpye on my iPhone 3G. It works fine, the interface is a bit sluggish and it tells me that my data plan prohibits Skype calls on EDGE/3G. I hope that it’ll support calls from wireless networks. Will try it later today.
Update
After some testing – didn’t really test the app but fiddled around a bit – I can say that it really works as expected. Skype for iPhone is the real deal. It has the genuine look and feel, has these distinct sounds and jingles and works perfectly right out of the box App Store.
As I already stated it won’t let me make calls while on EDGE or 3G. The error message states that my provider prohibits making VoIP calls through his network. While connected over WiFi with internet access I can make HQ Skype (out) calls and save money at the same time. Great.

Yippie! Just got my MacHeist 3 Bundle for $39. Actually I only paid $31 thanks to my bundle discounts I got during my mission unlocks. And I can make use of most of the 12 apps.
Some of the apps will get unlocked as soon as some goals are reached. 25% of all sales will go to charity. There are 10 charity organizations which will get a share of your money or you can pick one from the list that will get the whole of your share.
The MacHeist 3 Bundle reveal show was hosted by Chris Pirillo, Veronica Belmont and Lisa Bettany. I watched it live and it was fun but also awfully long – I was tired and was already on my way to bed when iCal reminded me of the show…
