Yeah, but good luck trying to download it. Their servers look to be pretty swamped at the moment.

And I had a screenshot all ready to send in. I just happened to sync my iPhone and this popped up. :-P

question is... Is it worth restoring my jailbroken phone to install it? The answer is: probably not.

Exactly what I was thinking... But there are no major updates in firmware 2.2 like Copy/Paste or SMS Forwarding. So its a useless update according to me. I don't think Apple is doing a great job spending months on changing Safari's look and adding Google Street View.
Changing the firmware will result in install all jailbroken apps again. Even if you use QuickPwn, then you would have to install some apps again (Springboard add-ons) or else they wont work. So its definitely a blunder to upgrade.

agreed. I'm not willing to give up streaming live video to the web, recording video to my phone, my haptic keyboard, choosing which apps I want to run in the background, using 3G for voip calls, having a camera with multiple options and zoom, being able to write SMS in landscape mode, having SMS forwarding or being able to customize the look of every detail on my phone, for the novelty of Google street view or to move the google search field somewhere new. Get real apple. Stop giving your customers bread crumbs.

Sorry Engadget beat them by almost 20 minutes according to my Twitter feed.
Rick said 1:50AM on 11-21-2008
Engadget isn't an "apple news site."

@Rick
Could have fooled me.
VanillaSpice said 8:57PM on 11-23-2008
Oh my lord, don't tell me the "Engadget is just Apple" / "Engadget is pro Apple" unthinking drones have migrated from the original site's comments section and are now invading TUAW.
Seriously, Flunky, try actually watching the articles Engadget posts, and try reading their articles, too. They are most certainly not pro-Apple, and they have many more non-Apple articles than Apple-related articles.
This FUD all started with the Zune, when a few anti-Apple fanboys realised that Engadget had come to the same conclusion as everyone else - that the Zune is nice but it is no iPod-killer. The fanboys then came up with the "Engadget is biased towards Apple" straw man argument as a way to indirectly support the Zune against (valid) criticism.
They've been at it ever since, and they did not even pause when Engadget began praising Vista, which proves that they are not even bothering to read the articles before posting their "rubbish - engadget is just pro-apple" comments.
