A Couple of Days with iPhone 2.0, A List of My Thoughts.
I bought an iPhone days after the launch last year. I think I had to. I’m pretty much a Apple devotee. I loved it. I had some problems activating it, but I got over it. I jailbroke it pretty much immediately, putting games, twitter, and tons of ringtones, etc on it. I anxiously awaited the 2.0 software update and grabbed it as soon as Gizmodo posted it.
I have been playing with it, and I have to say, it’s pretty freakin’ sweet. The appstore works well. The selection of apps is good. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it. However, a few minor things…
- Still no way without a jailbroken phone to set your BG color behind your app icons?
- Still no configurable sounds for system events, etc?
- No Google Analytics app? Adsense reporting?
- Twitteriffic is okay, but I preferred the old jailbroken app “MobileTwitter”… less app chrome.
- Not enough app demos on the app store… If I am going to drop , I need to know the app is good.
- No Flash.
- No Copy/Paste
- No way to force new browser windows to be opened with hyperlinks (maybe a click, hover release interaction would work for this?)
- Speaker still too quiet for most settings to make the speakerphone usable
- Give me some fun features (Maybe my callers could listen to a predefined ipod song while the phone is ringing or while they are on hold)
How about you? Have you upgraded? Bought a 3G phone? Had issues with activation? I’d love to hear your experiences or find out any cool apps you might know about.
