What's New in Version 2.4.5

- Fixed iOS 3 radar crash
So now we want to talk to you people who still run iOS 3. Everyone else, you're excused. No really this is a private conversation, go send some Twitterz or something. Off you go.

Ok, now that we're alone with our iOS 3 friends, let's talk.
At first we thought about being smug with you: "2009 called, it wants it's OS back", but that seemed nasty.
Then we considered the helping approach: "You know pretty soon all apps including ours are going to require iOS 4", but that sounded patronising.
Then we pondered the angry approach: "Frickity frick frick people, update your fracking devices! Can't you do anything right?!" but that had 3 fricks (and one frack!), which is at least 2 more than any sane person would ever use, unless they were from the Balkans, in which case we'd have needed 32 of them.
Then we considered compassion: "look, I realise iTunes is scary, god knows I'm scared it's going to wipe my phone every time it gets within 2 metres of that crazy white cable" but we thought Apple would slap us silly if we put that in there.
Then we thought about trying the mum approach: "Alexander Jones you update your phone this instant you hear me!" and it was funny, because the one Alexander Jones out there would have just freaked out, but then Paul Allen would have missed out, not to mention Sue Morgan and Brad Smith.

Then we just gave up and released a fix.
