I am predicting copy/paste in firmware 16.8]]>Nov 21st 2008 7:16AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 5:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 23rd 2008 5:11AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 8:10AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
The iPhone is such a versatile platform, and Apple could really clean up on this thing, but they choose not to. If most of these broken record complaints were addressed, there would be much less of an argument about not wanting an iPhone.]]>Nov 21st 2008 8:25AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 9:10AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 10:33AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 9:10AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
I think it's more them being VERY (read "too") picky as to HOW they do things. Is it going to use more power, is it going to allow people to hack more, is it going to do this, is it going to do that, we don't want people doing this, we don't want people doing that... etc...

Otherwise I think they would just handle it and do it. It can't be that hard to do. Many of the things have been done in jailbroken phones or in 3rd party software (that they end uop not allowing.)

It's Apple using it's power and keeping it's control. Wanting it perfect and right - but sometimes to the expense of the very people they are trying to please and will be using it.]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:22AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 10:35AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
Fact is, they are giving us plenty, far more than MS is giving us with Windows Mobile. Apple has gone from 1.0 to 2.2 in a year, and provide these updates regularly, while on the other side, MS has given us a tiny update in 6.1. And not for all devices, only certain ones that MS and HTC care about, not people like me stuck on my contract with a Cingular 8525. Come on people, Apple is doing plenty, way more than others.

What would I really like? A2DP and automatic silence of the phone when my calendar says I am in a meeting. Realy functionality that would benefit me.]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:54AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 10:43AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://bit.ly/iphone22]]>Nov 21st 2008 12:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 1:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 21st 2008 3:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
How exactly do you put practical use to both phones (n95-3 and iphone 3g) at the same time? Sometimes I have the urge to pop the sim back into my old e61 or SE w810i / k850i for the fast, one-handed, no-look texting (helpful in certain situations ), but then i think "dang, i'm gonna regret it a couple of hours later when i need to use an app!" (e.g. flixster to quickly check movie times, or live poker to play a round on the train ride home...)

how do you use both?!?

can't wait for 2.8. oh wait. i'll probably go all androidy by then.]]>Nov 28th 2008 10:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
I dont think android will make it too far. Anybody else beg to differ?]]>Nov 21st 2008 8:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/Nov 22nd 2008 4:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/21/iphone-2-2-firmware-update-available-now/
suprise suprise, it never goes smoothly

"download and update"...leads to a locked up iphone that needs to be restored.

trying to restore it ends up with another error..
time to restart machine , try again..

shouldnt i just plug it in, update , and go ?
welcome to the real apple experience......the release notes mention improved safari stability...hopefully it'll go more than half an hour without bombing out.(trying to look at simple websites!!!)

it took 2 pcs, removal and re install of itunes, a couple of reboots, loss of all my data/contacts/calender etc ,

its a FUC%ing joke.

and i still cant sync with firefox bookmarks ...only safari (honestly, who uses it ?) and internet explorer.

it'll all happen again next install too....
i dont expect the google phone to be much different...but each firmware makes me more and more likely to try and dump the iphone and try it. (and firmwares are supposed to improve things).

I didn't even notice it - a box popped up and I hit enter before I had a chance to read it, then I went back to work. About 30 minutes later, I looked down and saw the "plug into iTunes" screen. And that's all she wrote.

Good times...]]>Nov 23rd 2008 10:40AM
