The fine folks at Apple have released firmware update 2.2.1 for the iPhone to address some bug fixes and functionality. Since yours truly’s iPhone is jailbroken, I don’t think I will go through the trouble of losing my Cydia apps and reinstalling them. Apple has yet to make good on their promise to deliver background push notifications to allow third-party apps to run in the background. At the moment I get this functionality (well, sort of) with an app called Backgrounder, found in the Cydia repository.
So the waiting game for this feature from Apple continues. They promised to deliver it in September, but maybe they meant September 2009? I’m getting really annoyed at the fact that they continue to ignore this and hope that people forget about it and try to sweep it under the rug!
I guess we’ll have to wait for firmware 3.0 to get this. Hey, hope is the last thing we should lose, right?
OH, APPLE, AND BY THE WAY, WHERE IS THE COPY/PASTE?
