Great little device. The favorite thing for me is the high resolution user interface. The screens are gorgeous. Doesn't hurt to have the safari browser for web browsing even on Edge.
Enjoying the SMS texting with my iPhone friends - a new group in my Address Book. None of my other friends text for the most part. Hope that changes fast!
Liking the Stock tracker application to watch my Apple stock go up and up. It's gained $16 since release of the iPhone. I'm still expecting it to go into the $140 range. I didn't think it would go this fast, so perhaps it will drop back a bit before settling into the low $140's for a while.
Still missing several features like copy and paste, syncing notes, a to do list, mounting the iPhone as a drive on the desktop, being able to drag songs and podcasts to the iPhone icon in iTunes. None of these things work yet. Come on Apple! I know you are busy, busy, but please give us a few more goodies soon!
iCal idea. How about several views of iCal that you can just page through like they were cities in the weather app? That would let me have favorite category views and a to do list only view. That seems better than the buttons for Day etc. or perhaps an adjunct to that. I know you gotta make the user interface pristine, but I like that flipping with the finger thing and it seems like a good way to add views.
Challenge for iPhone users. What do you want for those 4 empty button slots on your iPhone? Here are my top four choices: (1) Games or 1 favorite game of my choice like solitaire, crossword puzzle, (2) iChat, (3) RSS reader, (4) Remote desktop.
I would like to be able to control more of those buttons, not just the blank row. On a BlackBerry, you decide where the buttons are and which ones go into the More buttons... category. I looked, though, and wasn't ready to eliminate any of the buttons Apple puts in as standard.
iPhone has 128 mb of RAM. That's what the latest blog post on Roughly Drafted says, anyway. I don't know why all the mobiles are so stingy on RAM. All the leading smartphones have only 64 mb. Glad we got double on the iPhone. But, why not 256 mb just to have a little extra? I guess it is all about costs, but looking at the iPhone cost structure - $265 for the 8 gig, it seems they had a little more room for more RAM.
Advice to fanatical new iPhone users. Think twice about getting a new iPhone for your significant other right now. Just in case an even better iPhone (say a 16 gb model) comes out in a few months, you may want to have someone to give your v1 iPhone to. All I am saying is don't push it. If he or she really wants one now, that's different.
