Hi,
You don't need to upgrade your handset to use IOS 4. Simply plug your 3GS
in to your computer, open iTunes, and let it do the update. Once the
firmware update is complete, you've IOS 4 installed.
I first updated my iTunes to version 9.2, then let the firmware update to
IOS 4 happen.
Best wishes,

Hi Donal,
Thank you for the practical experience around the IOS 4 I've read a lot
of reviews which seem to be very positive but at the end of the day you
can't beat the real user experience, I'll be upgrading from the 3GS sooner
then I thought.
Thanks and best of luck
Rahim

Evening all,
Well having updated to IOS 4 on MOnday, I thought some of you might like
to know some of the new things it has to offer.
The first thing to say is that the interface is very similar. This is
good, as the learning curve between version 3.3 and 4 isn't huge. There
are a few new voiceover gestures on the device, but all in all this part
is very similar to earlier versions.
FOr me, the most radical change is the way one enters text. As we chatted
about on a previous thread about 10 days ago, the way text has
historically been entered is to find the letter and (using one of two
methods) tap twice on the device. While this option is still there, there
is now a new way to enter text which I personally love. NOw, one can
change to a "touch typing mode". This means that to enter text you:
1. place the finger on the screen. If it is the letter you want, then
just lift the finger off and it's entered.
or
2. Place the finger on the screen in the vicinity of the letter you want.
If it isn't the one that you want, slide the finger across the device
until the one you want is announced. THen just lift the finger off and,
as they say, voilá.
Voiceover also works now with bluetooth braille displays, and indeed one
can also pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the device. This means
that (if you choose to carry one of these things, or someone develops a
compatible fold-up keyboard) you can now do text entry using a
conventional button-based keyboard.
Ok I've waffled on enough. This is just a flavour of what's new, and I
haven't explored all of the new features yet. I'll continue to post
updates on the off-chance someone finds this stuff useful.
Cheers,
Dónal====================
