He's complaining becuase he JUST bought 3.0. if he would have waited, he could have got 3.1 for $5, instead of paying $10 a few days before.

Bluetooth helps WiFi???
Can someone explain to me how having bluetooth turned on can improve WiFi performance?
Seems to me the only performance it will affect is the battery performance...negatively.

LOL, I don't think you read his post. READ very carefully
He said that anyone already on 3.0, they get 3.1 FREE
Anyone on 2.x can upgrade for only $5 and that includes 3.0
Has anyone tested it with tethering on AT&T? Does it break the benm.at profile?
Yes, sadly it does. Reinstalling it did not work for me.
Love the new tethering data stats
What?
Um.. actually I think he's got it right. Suggest you re-read.
This person had 2.x and upgraded to 3.0 for $10 a couple of days ago. Yes he can go to 3.1 for free now, but he's already spent $10. Whereas if he'd just waited for a couple of days he would have spent $5 less and got 3.1
*scoff* well then he should have acquired 3.0 - there's plenty of places to do so.
Yeah, but that would have made the whole $5 vs. $10 completely irrelevant at all-
I apologize, I read his post and it didn't mention saving per your scenario, just that he was complaining that he just spent $10 to upgrade. it could've been interpreted both ways.
I want to keep my tethering, so I'm skipping this. Doesn't look like anything too exciting for my 3G anyway.

It won't. They are saying that there was an issue with WiFi while bluetooth was turned on and that issue has been fixed. So, WiFi is now improved when bluetooth is turned on.
Someone is saying that you must have tethering enabled before you upgrade to 3.1. I don't know if someone wants to test this to make sure

Ah. NOW I get it. Sorry, guess I'm a little slow today.
Seems it would've been easier to just say they fixed the WiFi/bluetooth bug, but I guess it wouldn't have sounded quite as impressive.
I've connected and backed up twice so far. Both the initial backup and subsequent backup took about 10 seconds on my half-full 1G Touch.
MobileMe lock also works for iPod Touches that are logged in and connected via Wifi. If an app is open, the phone/touch goes right to lock, with the new code you enter at MMe.

It is, but they still haven't fixed that other speaker on the bottom. Still not working. And I still can't seem to send those picture message thingies that my friends do.
Home button is also snappier.
Keen to keep my unofficial O2 Tethering going for occasional GPRS email access (it's handy sometimes but not worth £10/month), so I'll wait and see how difficult the update makes this. Most recent posts sound promising though.
However, if I can send mail from mobileme aliases without workarounds, that might get me to sign up for 3.1. Anyone know if you can do this yet? (ie while keeping push on).

Damn. Happened to me with the 3.0 update so I'm scared *****less about doing this one.
or did I pay $10 for 3.0 and if I would have waited $5 for 3.1
Yeah, but it is older tech now. Apple is always moving forward, and older products have to be dropped!
Why are you complaining? Your iThing still does everything it did yesterday. You got exactly what you paid for. Apple has to make progress, and that means leaving older tech behind.rapmastac1 said:
