Woah! That’s like the time I tried to prove on a forum that I can type long paragraphs on my iPhone without making a mistake. Ended it with “it’s that sumple”.

Actually, iPhone third party apps do save data with the backup. And no, the backup doesn’t save the apps (just where they were on your home screen). I see a couple of reasons why your apps didn’t restore data.

1. The app in question doesn’t have that provision.
2. The last backup process was interrupted and hence, corrupted.
3. Apple’s backup solution isn’t reliable and has many a times caused such problems.

I’m curious as well as to what these apps are btw.

I’m curious to know ‘which’ of these business apps did you lose data from? Most business apps have a means of backup or sync which you should be able to restore. I’m not condoning Apple’s inefficient update, but if you lost your game progress in Monkeyball…

Firmware 2.2 totally crashed my phone during the update. And the worst part, the ‘Backup’ that iTunes backups your iPhone only backs up the application, NOT application data, so all data is LOST! iPhone is a fun consumer, but it’s still pathetic for business use! I’m giving my iPhone to my 12 year old. I’m getting a Blackberry…a true stable business device!
