I know I must be dense. At first glance all of these virtually the same.
You force me to poke around more:
Photos: I can see multiple selection. Picture taking seems identical. OK some interest in sending multiple pictures.
Camera: Missing it.
Maps: Missing it. Maybe the little dot giving the approx address. Not so interested. Doesn't seem to incorporate any Google Latitude features.
SMS: Missing it. Same bubble sitting there. Maybe the edit feature? That's something. You can now forward SMS messages as well as delete individual ones. VERY good upgrades.
Clock: Totally missing it. Same alarms, same 4 items on the bottom. I like it. Use it daily. Not complaining but not different. I believe the changes to this app were with the stop watch and how it handles split times.
Stocks: OK, now I see the 3 dots at the bottom. Got some news and stuff. Turn sideways get big chart. That's OK.
Mail: Missing it. Looks the same. Really? You can now search in emails and get a landscape keyboard.
Safari: Missing it. Looks the same. Looking harder I see the hold link and open in new page. Nice addition. Another small update is you can hit the lower right hand button and click the X on the only page you are viewing, and it brings up a blank page without having to do 6 button clicks to do that like before. Small but good upgrade, as I like closing Safari with only a blank page active.
iPod (iTunes): Looks the same. I believe now you can stream and download more content than before. You can also redeem iTunes cards now.
YouTube: Don't care. My kid might. Okay, but that doesn't mean the upgrades aren't there. You can now access your personal account instead of just watch videos.
I think your are overstating it, but I guess you could say that I am understating it.
You sure do have to look hard for any new features though. Perhaps that's the beauty of evolution.
