This not only cleared a problem I was having with the store, but also wiped the sluggishness I'd had since I'd first received the device. After that, I was amazed at how snappy it had become.

As for improvements, for me, a little less ghosting (though mine's really minimal), and a bit darker font/more contrast/user adjustable contrast would be nice. Of course, user changeable screensavers and fonts that didn't require a jailbreak would make it damn near perfect. (Right, V, dream on...!)
Thank you. I did the restart via the menu and I do think it has helped. Seems to be a bit speedier now. Again, thanks so much for the tips.
