iPhone 2.0 OS impression
After a week of the use of the new iPhone 2.0 software, my impression is actually mix even if I love the ability to install new apps. The biggest problem I have is that now it takes 40mins to an hour to backup every time you connect it to iTunes. It seriously takes more time to backup something less than 8 GB than let’s say, a clean install of OSX on a Mac! Ridiculous!
Other than that, I am quite positive about the upgrade. The Chinese input system is good for me because it can let me practice how to write the mostly forgotten characters – it can force me to try to remember how to write Chinese. The multiple calendar, the mass delete email, youtube clips on webpage can now opens in youtube app are all welcoming improvements.
Of course, the main attraction is the ability to install third-party apps and the App Store. It works so well that one could quickly fill up 4 or 5 pages of [free] apps on your iPhone! Of course a significant upgrade like this would definitely has bugs, even though the name is iPhone 2.0 OS, it is actually like a brand new OS, so expect 1.0 performance! (It’s stable if you don’t install anything else~) But if you combine the fact that all the apps in the App Store are version 1.0 products – you can see it is becoming a problem – crashes of apps do occur and sometimes it even forces your phone to restart (I am looking at you! New York Times app!) But the good news is, you’ll get free update for all the apps, so we know if there’s any problem, it will get fix eventually, we just have to be patient! (If you got a dedicated and committed developer, you’ll get update and fix in no time! Praise to Facebook!! They really listen to complaints and get want people wants!! Their app were patched and improved with new features in a week!)
As for my favorite apps so far and my experience with them – I’ll wait for the next post to tell you~
