Apple released Monday firmware 2.0.1, an update for the operating system of its 3G iPhone. As usual, Apple hasn't given many details about what the update contains, but said that it fixes some of the bugs that the software had.

The update is about 250 MB large and can be downloaded by connecting ones iPhones to a computer and then accessing iTunes. The download can then take place and the installation will be managed by Apple's site. Taking into account the size of the file, it is expected that the Cupertino-based company has fixed a large number of bugs.

Even though Apple didn't tell much about the update, some users have already posted information regarding what the update has fixed. Some of the new things that the update introduced are the possibility of creating backups quicker and dragging applications over multiple pages in a more efficient manner.

However, there are reports that making the upgrade might present problems for some users. Most of these problems regard the device getting blocked, so, if you plan to upgrade your iPhone's firmware to version 2.0.1., it might be a good idea to make a backup of the information that you stored on it before actually installing the update.

While the release of the new 3G iPhone was much awaited by many, the launch had been tainted by some unpleasant events. It all started when Apple servers were flooded by the immense number of activation requests. Latter on, users found quite a large number of bugs on applications that ran on the iPhone.

Hopefully, this firmware update will improve the perception of the public regarding Apple's latest device.
