One month of fairly light use has highlighted a few additional findings with iPhone and its v2.1 OS.
Benefits:
- ipod bookmarks (where you stop watching movie) get sync’d to iTunes (so you can start watching on iPhone and continue on the computer
- Safari web browser can have multiple windows/tabs.
Downsides:
- Telephone call log shows time of call, but not length of call
- Calendar alarm times are restrictive (5, 15, 30 mins, 1 or 2 hours, 1 or 2 days) rather than any number of minutes/hours/days (like on Palm Treo).
- Editing a calendar item, you cannot change which calendar to assign to (must delete and re-add)
- Safari crashes repeatedly
- Safari can have no more than 8 windows/tabs
- iTunes app store is a nightmare to wade through (on iPhone)
There are rumours that v2.2 should be out very soon, so I’m hoping that a lot (some?) of the niggles and problems mentioned last time (and this time) get remedied!
