Crazy Homeless Guy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Uhhggg. As long as I am ranting about ranting about OS's, ....I actually just watched a commercial where Apple was touting copy and paste as a the reason to buy an iPhone. To quote a friend, ....."Really"?

BrianKitts Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I haven't used it once since upgrading, nice to know it's there.... but definitely not a highlight. Heck the only real thing I've really liked with 3.0 is how quickly Pandora closes now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've used it a few times for email. Not great but it works. You think that's bad, try the new Shuffle. Just reading the directions give me a headache. It only has 1 button, and a volume control, so there are instructions like "click 3 times and hold for 2 seconds..."

STRAT Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i've yet to upgrade my iPod Touch to 3.0 from 2.1.1. I've heard a fair few gripes about 3.0's niggly performance, and for what the upgrades gives me i'm prepared to stay where i am for the time being. if it aint broke then dont fix it type of thing. I'm waiting for September for a new hardware release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I forgot about the improvement to scrubbing in Podcasts. Much needed. ....but this is definitely jut a release so that Apple stays in the news. There is nothing to brag about, for the most part these are pedestrian features that should have been present to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The real new stuff is stuff that doesn't market well. The universal push system, a ton of improvements in the API, and the features that AT&T has decided we won't need for a few months (MMS and tether). Also, they needed to update the software anyway because of the hardware revision so it was the right time. I think what we're seeing here is that what the user sees of the OS is pretty simple stuff and was already done quite well, so it's pretty hard to do an exciting new OS release.

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I use it on my computer a thousand times a day Yes, which is why I found it odd that I was the center of a commercial. It is one of the oldest functions found on a computer, and one of the most universally used. For me, it being the center of attention makes me start thinking about what other functions should be this easy to implement, but are not implemented. Oh well, I am eagerly anticipating what Apple will bring to the next iPhone anyway. .....though I am also interested in seeing how the Android develops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
