Guess that’s what happens when you set the bar so high?

While, as an iPhone owner who has already installed AppTap and some 3rd party apps I’m upset that there were so many features left out… As an Apple product user, I’m still QUITE impressed with the 1.0 effort. This is still, by far, the coolest, feature rich phone I’ve ever had.

Apple Computer Inc, excellent company with excellent products. Apple Inc., not so good company with good products. Since Apple dropped the “Computer” they have gone downhill, in my opinion. Or perhaps they are showing their true colors if they’re not backed by a community of third-party developers. Why can’t Apple understand that people want PDA functionality and extendibility, and get annoyed by Apple’s stalling?

This update is just lame. If Apple can’t do better, let others do it for them, as with their Mac platform. Where is that third-party application ability and iPhone SDK?

I think we’re going to have to wait until Leopard is released to see any big new functionality. The notes and tasks functions that are built-in to Leopard will probably be mirrored in the iPhone, but not until the end of October.

I don’t think we’re ever going to see MMS — Apple has decided that if you want to send a photo, you can do it through email. I’m really wanting a search function (I hate it when I’m trying to find a specific email and can’t search at the minimum by the “from” field).

I’m remaining patient for the extra adds from Apple… I feel a little bad for the people who just bricked their iPhones, but Craig’s right… Apple made it pretty clear what was going to happen. It’ll be interesting if they catch any real flack for it.

No offense intended, but if you hacked your iPhone and run this update after Apple’s warning about doing so and before waiting to see what other people’s experience is then you’re just asking for trouble.

I am left feeling a little flat by this iPhone upate. This update is really the iTunes WiFi store update, thats it. I thought we were going to see some new software (besides iTunes) on the iPhone, like MMS messaging, Copy and Paste, maybe an RSS reader, etc. I was so hoping for MMS. And the new settings Apple gave us are not that great. My guess is we will have to wait for these “major” upgrades until January at Mac World.
