5 main reason I should downgrade to my iPhone 3G from 4.0 to 3.13

I am actually quite dissapointed with the IOS 4.0 on my iPhone 3G. After one long hour of upgrading, my iPhone 3G have a lot of problem.
These are my top 5 reasons why I should downgrade back to 3.13:
1. It is now quite sluggish and slow.
Some games and apps are quite slow to load. It also jerk.
2. Phone receptions become worsen.
Not sure whether it is phone provider issue or due to my upgrade, but the problem did come since I upgrade my phone.
3. No multitasking features for iPhone 3G.
Due to the limited memory of iPhone 3G (128MB), apple decided to disable multitasking feature for iPhone3G. Haizzz.
4. No wall paper for iPhone 3G on ios4
This is one of main reason why people upgrades to IOS4. But this is not a new features anyway, a jailbroken iPhone 3G on previous version of IOS can already have a wall paper background.
5. No bluetooth support
Why is that so ? Deactivated support for iOS 4′s Bluetooth keyboard feature is also a hardware issue. The first two generations of iPhones supplied basic Bluetooth 2.0 support. Starting with the iPhone 3GS, Apple added Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) capable hardware.

The newer specification improves device setup with the “Secure Simple Pairing” mechanism and implements “Extended Inquiry Response,” which reduces power consumption in low-power mode.

For summary, come on apple you can do better than this. Why you discriminate iPhone 3G on your latest OS? As one of the fanboy I am quite dissapointed. Thinking of moving to another platform now.

Harvesting water for the air is normal, but harvesting electricity from the air. That is epic. Yes this charger is like a dream come true for me. Harvesting electricity from Wifi signal is just amazing, imagine, your mobile phone will no longer need to be charge when you are surrounded with wifi signals. Ha2. cool.

Airnergy as shown in CES 2010, it was built so it can harvest electricity from wifi signals. It has a battery inside it and it will charges itself as long as Wifi signals are detected. No more cable hustle, you can leave your phone lying around your home and it harvest electricity from your Wifi signals.
