iBricking the iPhone (nearly)

Being well on the techie curve, I went and tried to update my iPhone to the brand new 2.1 firmware...and have very almost (it's almost done fixing it now...hopefully) iBricked it.

So a word of advice to everyone...don't try to update your iphone whilst running Windows in a VMWare Workstation 6 virtual machine on Ubuntu...it may work...but it definately didn't for me...

I am now going to have to walk home with no "Short History of Nearly Everything" to listen to :-(
