Well, for those of you that have an iPhone 3G and are running iOS 4 which has speed problems on the iPhone 3G, you are in luck. Steve Jobs has said the there will be a software update coming “soon”. Here’s the e-mail conversation with Steve Jobs:
Costumer:
I’ve waited patiently through 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, looking for a fix that will make my phone work again. I’ve read the forums that advise me to jailbreak my phone or use some other method so I can downgrade back to a version of iPhone 3, however I’m not prepared to use a method that is not supported by Apple.
Steve Jobs’ not surprising short response:
Software update coming soon.

My best guess is that this software fix will be out sometimes in the next 2 weeks, but who knows. One thing is, is that iOS 4.1 Betas on iPhone 3G devices have shown steady speed improvements which is really good and means that it will probably be out within the next 2 weeks (which is just a guess, though).
