Ok so today, I was super excited to get the 3.0 software and a really friendly mac rumors user, decided to hook me up with the beta through his developer kit. Anyways, I got to playing with 3.0 and checking out all the new stuff it had to offer. Here is my rant, sorry if its long and stupid.
So after almost an entire year, the BIG update we get in 3.0 is like a new messaging application and now it says what number called me when I get a missed call? Really if you think about it, the core features in 3.0 are all features that the iPhone should natively have had when they released it. Ok Ok, now I know there are a ton of new API's for developers but the average user doesn't develop and doesn't really benefit from that. I watched a ton of videos on the Palm Pre today and as much as I had preconceived hate for that phone... the UI is awesome. I feel as if ours is becoming simple and out dated. Just like our phone never had copy/past, video, mms, etc. And yes I know thats all coming but thats small stuff.
Specifically, I use the SMS app more than anything and it sucks, its so simple, so plain and has really not options what soever to organize texts. Some of the other 3rd party SMS applications are so much more advanced and somewhat more pleasing to use. Such as this one...
Ok anyways that all I can write right now. I'm just a little disappointed with 3.0, its awesome for they said it would do but with how much money apple makes on this device we deserve more.
