John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	Just updated all 3 iPhones and both iPads over the air. Pretty cool. You have to go to Settings, general to find the software update _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6553 Loc: Miami, Fl.	You mean I don't have to hook up each device to iTunes? I can just put it on the desk and update? What a time saver!!! No more hooking up the cord! I must be missing something here... _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks.... Mitt Happens.

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6553 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Ah.. but this has nothing to do with it being over-the-air...right. I was confused.. but that seems to happen from time to time.. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks.... Mitt Happens.
