Steve Jobs has reportedly responded to an email about performance issues with iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G.

-----
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.

Software update coming soon.

It's likely that Jobs is referring to the iOS 4.1 firmware which is currently being tested by developers. This firmware is also thought to bring a fix for the iPhone 4 proximity issues.

I have a 3GS 32GB iPhone which performs(?) in exactly the same way as the video! It is my 3rd iPhone and each and every day I feel like tossing it in the garbage. Every time I want to use something some app or other whether it's mail, phone or iPod I have to do a soft boot to get it to work! With any other product that is in the market this would be seen as a manufacturing defect and would be replaced. Alas this is Apple and with all their billions they won't do an ethical recall.
