iPhone Firmware 2.0 Screenshots Leaked

Calculator? Yawwwwwnnn. Somebody wake me when There's a PDF reader for my Touch.

Safari should be able to view PDFs. It works on my iPhone.

Regardless, you should sleep until June, because that's when there will be a smorgasbord of iPhone apps - everything from PDF readers to scientific calculators to games.

Why does the Network say T-Mobile?

It says "T-Mobile D".
The "D" stands for "Deutschland" (Germany). Note it's a 4 GB iPhone

The June SDK is totally WEAK. No flash support and no video capture support. Who really gives a crap about an upgrade to the calculator. Get real. LAME

OK, yo're confusing two different things. The SDK is the Software Development Kit. It's the programming environment that you download to your Mac, so that you can write programs for your iPhone/Touch. If Flash, video capture, etc. ever come to the iPhone it will be through a firmwear update. That is, the operating system as installed on the iPhone. If this happened, there would probably be a corrisponding update to the SDK to take advantage of it, but the functionality comes through the firmwear.

Wow! That calculator really looks cool!

Shoot, I am just glad that they finally put the minus sign in the right place (well normal place). It has been driving me crazy ever since I got my touch.

Happy about the +- button, just want a percentage button on it now. Don't care about square root, just the percentage button.

It would be nice to have a bit more functionality on that calculator. How hard can it be to throw in some trig functions?

Out of your average 100 iPhone users, how many do you think need trig functions?

Seriously...

 

[the.snitch]

i like the old calculator better

 

[sleepingworker]

i like the old calculator better

I agree with you, but it's only my personal taste and I don't do advanced calculations. The new design feels more right for Vista (IMHO).

 

[Telp]

What's with everyone talking about the calculator as if theres something new features to it besides the + - (which is only a new button) and a new UI. It looks nice, im right up there with everyone, but the fact that thats all anyone is talking about amazes me (not in a bad way)just surprising that people arent more curious like they are in almost every other thread. Just my own observation. Take it how you will.

i really just want Apple and AT&T to allow other companies to be able to use the phone. you'd make more money like that. i'm with verizon and for me to get an iPhone, i would have to break my contract with verizon then buy the iPhone and the service with at&t, i think that's ridiculous.

i'm sick of these companies being selfish with products. AT&T has that bad, Verizon has horrible phones.

it's called capitalism, friend.

I'm in the process of porting the Free 42 simulator for the HP-42S. Wish me luck, RPN fans!

FTFY. Sadly, as with much in life, money talks all else walks.

There is a PDF reader for the Touch. It comes built right into the device.

 

[Derekasaurus]

Wow, the calculator has been improved! I'm going to get in line right now!

 

[lachs99]

Why does the Network say T-Mobile?

It even says "T-Mobile D" - that network is only available in Germany (D stands for Deutschland) if I am not mistaken and assuming they have not jailbroken it yet and used a fake carrier name, but I'm not sure if the fake carrier name will also show up on the info screen.

Note that the clock on the top is set to 24hrs system (13:48=1:48p.m.) which is usually not common in the US, right?

Anyway, my guess is that some people from Deutsche Telekom are behind that ...

 

[Templex]

It'd be nice if they had a second 'page' of buttons on the calculator app that had the scientific functions on it.

 

[pepitko]

I am also quite amazed that almost everyone talks about the calculator personally, I prefer the old look, the round buttons.
Finally, exchange support and mass deletion of emails! Hopefully sms will be mass-deletable too!

Actually, I find the ability to install official applications to be very STRONG. AppStore is very STRONG.

(Which in turn will lead to someone making a video capture.)

 

[idonotliketostu]

I just want the app store

What does that have anything to do with anything?

 

[Lershac]

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.

My 16 year old would beg to differ. I bought hers at 15 and she is under threat of iminent death if I catch nything offensive or inappropriate on her phone.

Unless I am misunderstanding, both Reply, Reply All and Forward have been features from June 29, 2006.

But the saving images and horizontal viewing... I'm right there with you.
Though I think the main reason for lack of horizontal viewing, in Mail, is the lack of viewable screen area when calling up the keypad.

You are mistaken, They were features from June 29th 2007!

You could use the iPhone with Verizon... IF Verizon wasn't such a craptacular company that uses inferior CDMA technology, and ties you to a single phone for the life of your contract. GSM FTW.

As for the phones being locked, Apple wanted partners for a lauch, the partners demanded that the phone be locked. If Apple had felt that they could have just released the iPhone for all GSM networks and had any success or not had any backlash from the mobile operators, they would have.
