Yes, which is why people keep using the word "sync." ;)

BTW, if you sync your Google calendars using CalDAV rather than Exchange, it will preserve the color coding (set in iCal or Gmail) on your iPhone. I couldn't stand using the Exchange method because it assigned random colors to all of my calendars; I've got about ten calendars in my Google Apps account and they're all color-coded in a very logical way. Using CalDAV to sync keeps the colors intact so they display correctly.

sorry, are you talking about syncing google calendars on the iphone? i thought when you sync it only puts your default calendar, not all of them?

Actually, you can choose which ones to display - I have a Google Apps account so that's the only link I have, but if you search Google for 'iPhone caldav sync settings' or similar, I'm certain you can find the link fr regular Gmail accounts. In any case, the link for hosted accounts is: http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/YOURDOMAIN.COM/iphoneselect?hl=en

Also, this works in 3.X as well - it's not a new, OS4-specific feature. ;)

Interesting, I've had all 4 beta's on my iPhone 3GS, and never noticed the places feature.. Weird.

There is also a "faces" feature but it isn't working yet.

It works fine here. You just have to sync whatever Faces you want on your iPhone through iTunes (which gets them from iPhoto) ... I have three buttons in my photos app - Albums, Faces, and Places, because I sync specific Albums and Faces from iPhoto. I assume I would a fourth button (Events) if I synced any events ...
 
Battery drain?

Anyone noticed that?
I left my phone over night and almost got to late for work because the phone didnt wake me up..The battery was drained.
It was full when I got to sleep...

so will faces and places only work for macs with iphoto? that sucks!
 
Am I the only one excited for the user-dictionary feature?

I think you may in fact be the only one, because that feature doesn't yet exist. That is, the user-dictionary Gizmodo reported on is only for Japanese input methods, not English. Another bit of quality journalism, really. :rolleyes:

Faces, yes - it's a feature of iPhoto. Places, no - at least, pictures taken by the iPhone should show up, as they are geotagged and at least in my testing, are added to Places as soon as they are taken. I could be mistaken, but it seems to work fine independent of iPhoto.

places will be nice, shame faces will only work via iPhoto, means missing out just cos i have a windows pc. :(
