A designer friend of my sent me this link. Pretty freaking funny! Of course Comic Sans makes an appearance and in a positive light I might add. Enjoy!

iPhone 2.0 REAL-Update
Well I, and a whole bunch of other people decided to jump the gun and do the iPhone 2.0 update before Apple “officially released it”. It turns out that the update that was released is actually designed for the iPhone 3G. Macrumours.com is reporting that those who used the “unofficial” update should follow the steps to re-update their phone.
- Sync your iPhone with iTunes 7.7 to make sure all data is backed up.
- Download iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw (Official firmware). You should get a single “.ipsw” file. If your browser renames it to a .zip file, you should rename it to “.ipsw”
- In iTunes click on the “Check for Updates” while holding the Option key on the Mac (Shift key on Windows)
- Select the firmware you downloaded in step #2
- Wait for your iPhone to update and restore.

iPhone 2.0 Firmware
Being the uber-apple-geek that I am I have been watching with hawk eyes for the new updates Apple has been passing down to their various services. MobileMe was up for a few minutes this morning…then the App Store is actually live on iTunes (just search for something like aim then hit the back button to see all apps)…and of course iPhone 2.0 was sneakily released!
If you are brave and want the official update now before waiting for those pesky waiting periods you can follow the instructions below to get the update!
- Go here and download the new version of iTunes 7.7
- Download the iPhone 2.0 firmware here. (It is 225MB so start your downloading right away!)
- Hook up your iPhone to your laptop and open iTunes.
- Sync your phone so that it has a current backup!
- After syncing go to the iPhone Summary screen and while holding the Option key click the “Check for Update” button. (UPDATE: If you are on a PC hold the Ctrl + Shift key when click the “Check for Update” button)
- Then browse to the file you downloading and begin your update process
- After all the patient waiting…welcome to iPhone 2.0!
DISCLAIMER: I am just passing information on that I found at MacRumors.com and they as well mention that I make no promises that this process will work! If you brick your phone it’s not my fault. I myself have done this and other’s I know as well. It works. All the apps work and everything seems kosher.
