iPhone firmware update 2.2.1 brings minor stability improvements

by Paul Miller posted Jan 27th 2009 at 2:05PM

No copy and paste here, move along everyone! What you can expect in the new, just-released 2.2.1 software update for the iPhone is "improved general stability of Safari" -- always encouraging -- and a fix for saved Mail images not showing up just right in the camera roll. It's like Christmas in January!

Sad but true slowly but surely Iphone will become irrelevant simply because of their refusal to improve minor but important features like MMS, copy and paste, etc... Soon enough other will catch up and much like the computers will become a niche market product.

Apple basically sucks...they fail to listen to dedicated fans over and over by incorporating
fixes for large functional gaps with this phone.

The people that praise Apple basically need to have their hand held to do anything
technological. Granted that percentage is large now but it wont always be that way as
upcoming generations are increasingly techno-savvy. If it wasn't for the community
developing apps for this phone it would basically be nothing special.

I have an iPhone and I hate Apple as a result. For example: I have so many stereo bluetooth
accessories that don't work because apple chooses to disable and remove a
decade old functionality.

Its really unfortunate that companies like Motorola gave them so much information on
building phones and now they are enemies because of Apple poaching resources non-stop.

Too bad they didn't listen to some of the basic functionality recommendations and fail
continuously to fill the gaps.

I have copy/paste thanks to clippy and it works great! I could use me some A2DP bluetooth though. In the meantime, there are adapters you can plug-in.

Oh, and it looks like bluetooth file transfer is on the way, surprisingly not from Apple!
