Come on Apple get real here.

What's the point of having a machine they keep saying is a business tool and added things like Exchange compatibility etc, when we can't even get a simple cut and paste function

As a business user being able to cut and paste from one email I received to one I am sending is almost basic in its requirement.

Who cares about looking at a picture of 5th Avenue, what do you do with the picture now you have it? Orgasmic, an out of focus picture of 5th Avenue! Completely baffled to the point of this!

As an aside, can't do Buckingham Palace, Google does not have the pic.

I want Cut and Paste
I want to be able to listen to my music via bluetooth
I want to view Flash in my browser


But this update gives me a new real wow item for my 246Mb download... click the home button to get to my front screen WOW! common really!

Neil

you are 100% correct.
 
In keeping with the spirit of this thread, I got up this morning, showered and shaved. Had my coffee. Saw the iPhone update was available. Currently am downloading it. If anyone wants me to post screenshots of the progress bar, let me know.
 
Apple has you where they want you. Too bad the other companies are utterly useless and are incapable of creating something to knock off the iphone. Sorry G1 and Storm, you're not it. :p
 
I backed up my iPhone before restoring and installing the update, and its now syncing all of my music back to the phone... kind of weird that it wiped all the music off.
 
I'm thinking you can't get the transit directions on the ipod touch? If so, not cool apple.
 
Stupid f*cking update killed my phone: "an unknown error occurred." Now I have to reformat it and go through the joyous process of recopying all my music, etc...
 
Big fat yawn on this update. For now, I'll stick with my jailbroken phone running 2.1.
I keep seeing references to streaming a podcast instead of downloading that, but how do you do that? I only see the option to download.
Couldn't you always stream a podcast even before this update just by clicking on the link in Safari?
 
Happy

The best thing about this update is the increased speed of the iPhone.

I know a couple of people who returned version 2.0 of the iPhone because it was slow and buggy and they're still telling people how slow the iPhone is. With version 2.2, I think the iPhone will have a lot higher customer satisfaction among new users.
 
complain complain complain...

Please don't buy Apple devices if it doesn't do what you want it to do. (Cut and Paste, MMS, Video, and all your wish list items) If those are most have features, don't buy the touch or iPhone.

Entitlement era needs to die.

I am happy about the podcast downloading now, I now have no reason to need to use itunes anymore which is good. Also the public transportation directions seems like they can be helpful, I hope they work in Boston.



where are these public transportation directions you speak of hmmm?

Why would you spend $200-300 on an iPhone that you know doesn't do Cut N Paste, then complain about it? They never advertised it? Am I missing something here?
 
you have to drop a pin, then tap on it, on the left side you will see a icon. Why you cant just do it from you current location is kind of dumb.

Why would you need to look at Street View from your current location, when you can simply look around reality?
