So far, the only thing I notice is that the WiFi connects MUCH quicker. I also think the version of Pocket Informant is upgraded...anyone know if this is true? I have been out of work for 12 1/2 weeks, so I haven't been paying much attention to the PI calender.


BTW just make sure you download the right file. Version 1.0 is marked as 'new' instead of version 1.10, which is the correct one. As a result, I performed 2 ROM 'upgrades' today!
