Last night, I updated my iPhone software to v2.0. I have mixed feelings.
This version broke my Wi-Fi, but added tons of new features to my 1st gen phone. The theory I’ve heard is that this version of the firmware/OS has trouble detecting the wi-fi hardware. It is also rumored that Apple is working on a v2.0.1, which should be available soon.
On the positive side, the new Apps Store is amazing. This is the second blog post that I’ve authored with the Wordpress app. I’ve also installed “Remote” by Apple, which will allow me to use my iPhone to remote control any iTunes or Apple TV within wi-fi reach. So cool! There are tons of apps available, some excellent, some lousy. But, Apple had enough foresight to add a user-review system to the App Store.
Aside from the apps, I can now sync my phone with the Exchange server at work. And,I can also save images from web pages or emails to my phone.
Bottom line, Apple, fix my wi-fi, and I think you’ve got an unbeatable mobile device.
