ahh, excellent! Although I never "upgraded" to 1.1.1, I'm glad they did this.

For the foreseeable future (IMHO), this is definitely the solution. Just stick with 1.0.2 and continue developing apps for it. Otherwise, its definitely a losing battle.

Since 1.0.2 doesn't have any super super major bugs, I'd say it's okay to continue using 1.0.2 for a LONG time to come.

Now just integrate this with the actual FW downgrade as well, make it a one-click GUI solution, and it'll be great for all the noobs who kind of screwed themselves by "up" grading without thinking first.

a bit harsh, paul, IMO... while you'd like to call them "n00bs" (i like to call them "brave testers"), if it weren't for them youl'd never know the benefits/downfalls of an upgrade

just my 0.02

There Just as there are those who use -stable and those who use -current, there are those who wait until they know that the software is going to work first, and those who will blindly hit the upgrade button like a cocaine addled lab rat banging on their dispenser bar.

There are adventurous, knowledgeable, intrepid souls (who know what the heck they are doing) that go forth and download that upgrade so that they may make better the lot of the apple fanboy. To these fine people we salute and give many of the fine mad props! Others less skilled and brave, however are advised against such exercise.

There is a difference between grasping a rope and leaping into the pit of the unknown and simply falling in ass over teakettle because you were busy texting someone and weren't looking where you were going.

In all fairness it is expected these days for upgrades to generally be good things. One must remember that in iPhone land what comes out of the hopper lately is less likely to be a food pellet than one "previously eaten"

I didn't mean that everyone who upgraded was automatically a noob ;-)

I just meant those who didn't know the risks and what they were doing exactly. They just blindly hit that upgrade button.

Big difference from an informed tester. I aboslutely do indeed appreciate the efforts and sacrifices of all testers.
