So that's a reason not to implement it?
There is not one manufacturer for mobile phones that offers the same number of features surrounding remote security for a phone. What are you complaining about?
Got a tip for us?

one of the most thrilling things happened today is Steve Jobs's coming back from his absense of leave!
all mac geeks are beneficiaries for this big "event", we are expecting Jobs and his team would make extensive spotlights in its brand new gear forthcoming

Someone else, please comment on the fact that you can't put podcasts into playlists, and that that the podcasts screen is very jerky... Please!?
I noticed this too - it updated the gapless playback information and was very slow & constantly beachballing whilst doing this. Once it finished, it stopped beachballing though.
Other apps were unaffected, and it was only using 10% CPU
The quick (and irritating) fix is to change your podcasts to "music" in their info windows...
Well, I've now upgraded two machines to iTunes 9.0 and two iPhones to 3.1. Both times I upgraded iTunes before the iPhone.
The first one, attached to a 17" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard is an original iPhone (not 3G) which I use as a bedside clock/alarm/streaming radio device using WiFi as it no longer has a SIM card in. This is the first time that the upgrade process has not asked me to put a SIM card in and re-activate it. Looks like they now realise that the units are indeed "the best iPod ever made" rather than a phone with an iPod! The only issue I suffered was that it forgot the name of the iPhone (was called "iPhone Original") and now just calls it "iPhone" - not a big deal.
The second one, a 3G is attached to a Windows XP machine and this one had no issues at all upgrading iTunes and then the iPhone software.
I have over 1500 Apps listed in iTunes and I can tell you that iTunes 9 now starts faster, uses *far* less memory (we're talking about half a gig previously - now under half that) and scrolls through applications *much* faster.
Other than the first backup since the upgrade, every other backup has been back to a fast speed again.
A happy customer.

I can't imagine they would make 3.0 incompatible with the new iTunes. They can't assume everyone that updates their iTunes will immediately have the chance to update their phones as well. It would be a mess to leave a large group of people with useless phones.
I wonder how hard Apple works at disabling this? Regardless, I'm sure a solution will be forthcoming in the next few days!
I don't think there could ever be a bulletproof solution, or if there was, it would probably be terribly inconvenient.
I think it's just the first back-up that takes that long - subsequent back-ups are just for changes that have been made, and so should be much faster.
Has anyone tested it with tethering on AT&T? Does it break the benm.at profile?
I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread that this was indeed broken by the update.
If this had been rush hour LA on the 405, 6h+ might have been rather close to actual time for the by-car option.
Calendars retain colors!!!
Call me an uber geek, but one of my favorite fixes with OS 3.1 is the fact that my subscribed calendars on my iCal are automatically synced over mobilme (although they don't show up ON MobileMe...weird) and keep the same color designation that i gave them on my desktop iCal. Yeah!!!
It's the simple things really.

All this talk about hackz disappearing or phones not upgrading.
The better question to ask is......
What has apple fixed. Where are the release notes?
I dont care about new features when the opsys has so many bugs.
APPLE....TELL ME WHAT YOU FIXED.
BTW...Can anyone confirm if volume for a 3GS was crippled by the update. I love the volume on the 3gs as it finally seems normal (loud)...if they dampened it...I will not upgrade.

Yes, he spent half hour for that. And I'm not surprised.
If you have more than 100 apps in 10 pages on your iPhone, it is perfectly reasonable that it takes a long time to re-arrange all of them.
Why? Because the app rearrangement directly on the iPhone was very difficult, with many apps distributed on several pages. And so users who wanted to have many applications on the iPhone probably had to keep them on a pile-up basis, in no logical order.
Now, if your next question is "but does a user really NEED all that apps online?", the answer is simple: if the iPhone provides 10 pages for applications, this means that Apple thought about people who would like to have up to 160 applications on the iPhone. It was Apple's choice, and it is fair and reasonable that Apple support those users.
That's not Apple's call. It's YouTube's.
Not Apple's call. The carrier's.
Would be nice, if it was only the cached stuff. Streaming would probably hog quite a bit of CPU still.
Most likely the third-party app.
Almost definitely the third-party app.
In what, as all apps I know of it works with keyboard displayed, including my own apps.
Each to their own, of such limited appeal not worth wasting screen real estate on.
Just use Spotlight, otherwise you'll get RSI from swiping so many times.
No room for the name, as you need to include the extra height of the "in-call" status bar.
Not being funny, but an iPhone game over 2GB in size isn't optimised very well. PSP titles occupy less than 2GB (typically around the 600-700MB mark).
They certainly could've made 3.1 a prerequisite for iTunes 9. Esp. considering that 3.1 is free to iPhone users. I guess that was my concern.
Tethering is still not officially available at any price for AT&T's iPhone users. Other smartphone users, yes; iPhone users, no. That's a large part of the problem.
I agree that $30/month is expensive for casual use. They probably need to have two or three tiered plans, but that's not how AT&T normally views their network. Look at the data plan options for iPhone users (i.e. all one of them) for a representative sample.
Does this fix the wireless and bluetooth issues that were introduced with 3.0? I haven't used wireless on my iPhone in 2 months since I can't get to a store to exchange this thing.
Exchange
I had the bonus feature of Outlook Active sync now being broken. Apparently I am not alone.

When someone on Exchange sends a calendar invite via email, it still appears as an attachment that you can't import or open in iPhone 3.1.
So much for being business friendly.
