All updated on the MacBook fine, we'll see what's what. The MacBook update the other day sorted out my waking from hibernation problems, so not sure I've got anything that needs fixing. Sounds like MobileMe should be a bit more reliable now though.
 
How many restarts on this one? :D

Also, anyone with a Unibody MBP have an idea of the download size?

Mine did that also, I thought I was going to get a kernel panic for a minute, but it rebooted itself and all was good.

I think things like this are less worrying if you actually have a real mac... ;) :o

That's the thing I'm liking most about the MacBook - not having to faff around with updated, just hit install and away it goes ! ;)

Yes, it seems a lot quicker already. I edited a contact and my Mac immediately synced. I checked on the iPhone a minute or so later and the change was already there, that's much improved.

What's the reason? Mouse acceleration you can't turn off? :D
