'Official' iPhone firmware 2.0 now available for download, seriously, for real

So yesterday we posted a link to a version of the 2.0 iPhone firmware which was supposedly the release version of the new system software. After getting weirded out by some buggy behavior, then discovering that there were number differences between our version and the version shipping with new iPhone 3Gs, we got a little suspicious. Today, we noticed that the file which Apple made available for upgraders via iTunes sported a slimmer file size and separate designation (1,1 as opposed to the 1,2 of the previous iteration). The new version (supposedly the "official" version) is now available from Apple's servers -- so if you had any misgivings about that initial update, you can snag this and get a do-over. We've updated and restored on our phone, and we'll be honest -- it does seem a little bit snappier. Hit the read link for the file, and let us know if you notice any differences.

Where are the updates for the iPod Touch. I haven't seen ANY coverage other than comments! The only mention of the Touch problem on any of the major Mac fan sites are about the iPhone problems and that they are fixed.

What about the TOUCH its bad enough that we don't get any love from Apple...hello $10 charge. But the fact that NONE of the major apple sites are covering it is even worse!

Get off your asses MAC media and cover the iPod Touch problems!
