iPhone 3G Loses Functionality With iOS 4.0

Update 2: Thanks commenters - power cycling the iPhone 3G resolved the issue.

Update: Lifehacker has instructions for returning to iPhone 3.x

I was on my iPhone 3G last night and pressed the home button to look at my calendar, and nothing happened. Prior to "up"grading to iOS 4.0, I could always be on the phone and read my email or calendar or surf the web to look something up. With iOS 4.0, I can't. 

I would like to go back to iPhone OS 3.0. 

Also impressed with Waterfield Designs' Keyboard Travel Case

Although a bit spendy $49 plus tax and shipping, I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of Waterfield Design's Keyboard Travel Case. Now I have one compact (not small), well designed bag to carry all my bluetooth keyboard, and MacBook and iPad accessories. (If it was smaller, it wouldn't carry everything I want it to.)

Waterfield's brochures proudly proclaim "No mass production or overseas workforce. WaterField bags are designed and made in San Francisco, where rent is high, labor is expensive and competition is intense. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!" Kudos to them! Made in America is quite rare these days and we can kiss the American middle class goodbye if we don't restore our domestic manufacturing/job base. They also sign each invoice with a personal note - a nice touch.

While I am very happy with my be.ez La Robe MacBook Pro sleeve, I'm kind of sad I didn't decide to spend more and get the Waterfield Sleeve Case. Ditto for my neoprene iPad sleeve.

 

Impressed with the Be.ez LA robe Sleeve for my Macbook Pro

I luv my new Macbook Pro but also am quite impressed with the Be.ez LA robe sleeve. It's made out of a unique high impact compressive material that seems to add great protection while remaining light and portable.

It comes in a variety of colors and is less than $30.
