Does the 2.01 Update and Apps work for anyone?

As you can see by the title of my post, I am just wondering if anyone out there took the 2.01 update and are still able to use the Apps from the app store?

I am seeing many posts of people complaining that after the 2.01 update, that they can no longer use any apps. They are saying it is crashing and returning to the home screen.

I am holding off on updating until i receive further word.

Anyone?

Here's my 2 cents.

I did the original 7.7-2.0 update 3 weeks ago w/o problem but i lost outlook syncs like everyone else with the change.

When 2.0.1 came out I did the 7.7.1 -2.0.1 update thru the iTunes popup reminder.

During the 7.7.1 install, the system crashed...bad. I couldn't restart not even in safe mode. Had to do a system restore to an earlier point which left me with 7.6. I then did the 2.0.1 update which went fine but still left me w/o outlook sync. Rather than go thru the itunes update to 7.7.1 again, I downloaded 7.7.1 from apple and did the install.

Phew....it worked...now I'm back to NORMAL....rapid syncs, outlook calender and contacts sync normally, apps download and work.

hope this helps.

I only have a couple of apps from the store and they work fine, in fact maybe even better than before: one's a game and I got a much higher score than I've ever gotten even from the regular desktop version which I've had for a couple of years. The other is the Apple Remote app for iTunes, and it works just fine as far as I can tell (I don't use it that much right now).

All apps work fine on my IPT with 2.0.1 except Where but it can't locate me like Google maps...thats been consistent since firmware 1.1.4. Don't know whats up with that. BUT all other apps work great. I have cromag rally, aol radio, pandora, solitair, hangman, marble mash and a few others. They all work fine....none have ever crashed. I am also impressed how fast 3D things like cromag load and run with pretty good frame rates.

I cannot understand the inconsistency in success or failure with the firmware upgrades. Seems like more windows folks are having issues but that just speculation on my part.
