Hey Joe I updated last night and have had on in my work van all day as usual and haven't noticed anything different I know people always say the battery life has improved but I normally find my battery discharges fasterthan normal the day after an update which I put down to more use but today it hasn't died as quickly.
On a different note has anybody been able to stream movies via blinkbox I can watch the free tv shows but the minute I try buying a title it refuses me, streaming movies and tv shows is the only thing that bothers me about my pb which I've had since launch and I'm seriously considering picking up a second fruit based tablet just to fulfill this task as there appears to beno other way for UK owners

For me it fixed a background application issue that came with the previous release. My apps would always suspend or at least stop their display updates when in the background regardless of the setting. I always change mine to "Showcase" but it had not effect.

This was bad for imo chat client, i would always have to bring it to the foreground to see what has changed, the thumbnail screen was never updated. Sometimes it would actually suspend and only then reconnect when i bring it to the foreground. Many other apps did the same even the browser.

But its fixed now.

The BBM icon is now in sync with the phone. Sometimes it would have the red star and would never change even after I've read the messages.

I'm about to do mine. I'll let you know how it goes

Thanks for the feedback all. I still need a day or so with it before I can really tell what's going on with the battery. Otherwise, haven't really noticed anything else besides what you have already stated.

Anybody else having problems syncing yahoo address to native contact? It worked perfectly in the beta version, but wiped them out and now won't sync. Any help is appreciated.
