For most Titanium folks, 10.2.8 will be a pointless upgrade. Mostly
Bluetooth improvements. The battery status menu will let me know that my
battery lasts about a half hour after being fully charged. (I reckon it's
time for a new one). Too bad Safari requires a 40 meg patch for it's
improvements. Nothing in the doc's about Snappier Feel© :-(
