What happened to August? Can you believe it's almost over? Summer is slowly coming to and end...noooo!

Looks like the folks at Cupertino are at it again with their firmware updates. iPhone firmware version 2.0.2 was released a couple hours ago and can now be downloaded via iTunes or straight from Apple's servers.
