Parental Controls? You're kidding right? What kid under the age of 16 is carrying around an iPhone? If it's a richy rich kid then the parents probably don't have any interest in setting up boundaries for said kids.

all these amazing "interior" coding developements.....and a graphing calculator. Just what the doctor ordered.

Bring on the "where is flash?" and "I still hate the iPhone baecause I live in a cave and don't want to enjoy my phone" haters...

Not sure...

why the calculator didn't have a little more functionality from the start.

I figure it is not a main use for a lot of people but that is the beauty of the screen. I can be configured for considerable use variation.


A two line screen and more built in functions would be nice.

No offense, but I dont give a crap about the calculator.

Give me more options in the mail app. Like saving image attachments, a reply to all or sender, reply as and horizontal viewing.

Does the calculator have an RPN mode yet? :)

Me too!

But remember, if Apple hasn't addressed our needs, we have to write our own apps!

Do you think iFund will pay me to write an HP-41 simulator for the iPhone? Would there be copyright infringements?

heh

Only looked at the pics, but am I missing something or is the advancement of the calculator just the addition of positive an negative number handling?

And those mail features are right on the money for me, as well as MMS and horizontal viewing in all of its main applications. I'm really hoping Apple wouldn't toss out the number 2.0 with all of its shiny connotation and really just be a compatibility update for apps and "enterprise" without an substantial increase in utility and usability to the phones major features.

The only new calculator feature I see is a positive/negative toggle button. And also, I wonder why they're backing off the Dieter Rams design of the Braun ET66.
