I really like what they did to the APP store.
When you open the app store, click on categories, then click on any of the categories: games. At the top of says: Top Paid, Top Free, and Release Date!
* you have to click on the category for that to show up *
That is true, I don't have much use for MMS or Copy and Paste, but those features are nice to have around because the iPhone is suppose to be the multipurpose phone that can replace basic functions of a computer. You can't tell me there isn't a time when you wished you had MMS and C&P because you needed it.
Lets just say this, a good company will try to appease the vast majority of its customers.
I don't know the answer to those, but it seems they aren't listening to its own customers and update whatever is convenient and profiting to them. How hard is landscape SMS? MMS? Video Recording? The maps app is not beefed up at all, street view is not as useful as turn by turn...Yeah I know its against their policy, but they made it so they can rewrite it.
I'm laughing at all of these people posting about a feature they just found like they were the first one to find it. Most of the new features were discovered and talked about in the first 10-15 pages of this thread.
I'm also getting annoyed with some iPod Touch users saying how glad they are that they don't have to pay for the update yet they're complaining about features (or lack thereof). Beggeds can't be choosers guys.
On another note, I've been literally trying to make Safari crash ever since this update and I haven't been able to do it yet. Nicely done Apple.

is anyones fetch working???? mine seems to be still broken
YES/NO!!!!!
My Yahoo! account is still not working, though my Exchange account works perfectly, fetching just like it should
.Having said that, I'm confident that this is a Yahoo! server issue and not a Apple issue. I have contacted Yahoo about this and am waiting for a reply.
Apple, keep up the good work in trying to get this platform stable (Safari works without crashing
)And i feel that Apple are holding off on the Push Notifications until MacWorld, as this will create alot more hype then if they just released it as a normal upgrade ...... come-on people this is a major (and wanted) feature for the mojority of iPhone users .... do you really think it would be a good business decision to release it without the marketing stating "that the iPhone now has Push notifications"???
KrayzieKray Right.
Only.
Nothing to do with some unknow ATT restriction or agreement on mms, Nope. Nothing to do with MMS being a dying tech. Nope. Nothing to do about video draining the battery faster then the like.
Nope.
ONLY. 'cause apple can't make money on them....
Any stability issues with the 2.2 update that you didn't have with 2.1? As of late my iPhone has been ridiculously unstable - it's crashed many times, the battery graphic froze last night and my iPhone died (while showing 75% battery), and it's basically just been awful. I'm going to stop downloading 3rd party applications because I know they're at the heart of the instability. Also, I'm going to remove all but the few 3rd party apps I use all the time before I do this 2.2 update.
Fantastic - that's worth the price of admission right there. Previously, if you wanted to "catch up" on a series the iphone would play the one you selected and then move to older ones instead of moving to newer ones.
This is a very smart move.
It's the little things!

Why would AT&T have a restriction on MMS? They don't have one for any of their other phones. Please show evidence for MMS being a dying tech, if anything it's becoming more popular as more and more phones come with cameras and video capability.
Video is not the only component of MMS, and if Apple was that concerned about battery life, why would there be Maps, games, Cover Flow, 3G, wifi, etc? Actually if they really wanted to conserve battery I'm sure getting rid of the huge screen would be the #1 priority.
The iPhone can't record video so that doesn't matter, and honestly I don't have an issue with it not being able to play videos either - but the basic ability to send/receive photos? I fail to understand how that drains the battery more than anything else the iPhone does.
I've given up on copy/paste and MMS, but one feature I would really, really like is the ability to disable pop-up text messages! Sometimes someone is looking at my phone or I'm showing them something and a text pops up and I'm like "uh.. " CAN WE HAVE A DISABLE FEATURE, PLEASE APPLE?
" CAN WE HAVE A DISABLE FEATURE, PLEASE APPLE?those of you having sound output issues: try messing with the volume rocker and seeing which volume mode the phone is in. I had a case last week where my phone said "headphones" when I adjusted the volume, yet no headphones were plugged in. It's like it was trying to play the sound through nonexistant headphones. Problem solved just by plugging in headphones and then unplugging them.
Steve Jobs is loosing it. Why do only japanese iPhone users get emoji? We use smilies in SMS in europe as well. The iPhone is still one of the only phones in europe not to support smileys. When will americans start to use technology like the rest of the world?

MMS is a dying tech. In europe we use SMS since the mid 90's and MMS since 2000. Still i have never received an MMS or sent an MMS even not when they offered to send it for free. SMS was picked up immediately, MMS has not been picked up in 8 years.

That's the point. We don't have the evidence either way but Jimbo is syaing "it's all about the money."
RE MMS:
Email. Wave of the future. Just cause friend send friends pictures of themselves getting drunk via MMS does not means normal people use it that much at all.
All new phones have email, all cheap phones have sms, that's the future, and apple should not waste their time on the non standard between carriers MMS solutions.
re video: I meant take video (like a video camera.) and it does drain things faster.
I'm pretty sure that Apple would make a ton of money if they encorporate MMS because a lot of people that care about that stuff have actually not bought an iPhone simply because they can't picture message. And video chatting would increase sales the same way it does for their computers.
On a more SERIOUS note, don't put your iPhone into Airplane mode while doing the update (I haven't read the 700+ comments because that's just too many to see if someone else mentioned this) because when it comes out from updating it will say that there is no SIM card or pin and you have to try to make an emergency call to then get the option to disable airplane mode and then hope that works (it did for me). Google street view works really well but is kind of eerie ...
There has definitely been some change in the implementation of Mail fetch, or even push, as my gmail account has been "dinging" all day on my iPhone before Mail.app on the iMac gets it over IMAP idle. That never has happened before.
NEW FEATURE:
When you play an MP3 online in Safari if you press the home button and go for your email or else, the mp3 still playing !
Before as soon as you closed Safari the player stopped !
Amazing now SEEQPOD makes sens
Not new. I can do this on 2.1.
In fact, I just figured out you can do this in 2.1 this week and I've been doing it the last couple of days.
Maybe I'm overlooking something but is there way in Safari to navigate directly to the bottom of a web page?
My backup only took a matter of minutes. The whole process of upgrading the phone only took 15 minutes or so I think. I had the issue with long backup times in 2.0 but it that was fixed after the first software update. Have your backups been taking that long previously?
Yay, finally! That was my second biggest issue with recent firmwares.
My worst problem is the fact that video podcasts used to be playable as audio only via the podcast tab, but became video only in 2.0 (or 2.1?). At least there was a dodgy workaround for that (start video, hit sleep, double-click to get ipod controls, hit play). I hope 2.2 gives the option back, or at least leaves the workaround. (waiting for Jailbreak personally, so can't test).
