 iPhone OS 4- Should You Wait ?
After waiting for several hours for my iPhone to backup I made a crucial decision. Abort. Upon reflection that was a good decision.Immediately after stopping the upgrade, I received an email from Jott Networks publishers of Jott a key app for me that its app used for voice dictation to email etc was incompatible with the OS upgrade. They are working on a fix. That was an immediate wake up call. What was my rush?
