Bovine to do list? When did Apple pick up the old Gateway 2000 theme?

Yeah sounds great, but what about a windows version of something similar. Notes are still useless to us windows users on the iphone.

About time! I knew I had a reason to replace my old LifeDrive!

I long for the day when Apple allows me to type notes in landscape keyboard mode.

Here is a good example of how stupid the iPhone remains on a basic level. Three updates and 9 months later, there is still no official way to make use of your Notes on a computer or vice-versa. I have to think this isn't a difficult thing to do. But Apple has been focussed on silly things like fake GPS mapping, buying music at Starbucks, etc. I am increasingly frustrated and am telling friends and family not to buy an iPhone until there is a substantial improvement in basic functionality.

Bandit, you're right about not being able to use Notes. I totally agree this should be implemented and should've been a long time ago. However, frustrated?? I don't get that part. It's a pretty fucking cool phone despite that.

this says more about the 'fantastic' touch interface (not) than RIMs Blackberry advertising team could ever dream up :-)

Wot U say FanBoyz?

@Marty_MacFly:

Here, fucking here. That keyboard should go horizontal in any and every application I want it to.

I swear, I was just thinking about selling my iPhone today because I'm sick of the keyboard. My experience would be greatly improved if they would just flip the freaking thing.

And I'm also very happy about the notes editing. Don't know why it has taken this long.

quite why you still can't sync your mail notes with the iPhone I just don't know but I'm glad to see some kind of solution coming

i find it extremely sad that we are all getting so excited about something THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION ON THE IPHONE FROM THE BEGINNING.

as much of a fanboy as i am, as much as i love apple, they are complete and utter douchebags for not providing some sort of a Sync via the sticky dashboard widget or some sort of other method through itunes.

There's got to be some sort of free software to do the same thing...

Why in the world doesn't the iphone support .mac? Why do I have to dock my phone just to sync my calendar and contacts??? Why dont the notes sync with the notes in mail??? So simple, so obvious, so version 2.0?

hmm, why do you have to reboot every time you save.
that's not very practical.

From the Ecamm website:

"The following MegaPhone features trigger a reboot of the iPhone or iPod Touch:
Adding, editing, and deleting Notes.
Deleting Call Log items.
Deleting SMS items.

During the process of modifying Notes, Call Log, or SMS information stored on the device, you will see a message on the iPhone screen stating "Restore in progress" and then "Restore complete". The iPhone will then reboot."

I read that to say that every time you updated one of those variables that the phone reboots. If that's the case, they lost me. I was willing to try it, but that's just plain stupid.

2.0 + 3G + 32GB = Time for VNSROCK to own.

Listen, I have a running list of problems and frustrations with my iPhone. But seriously, it's still the most intuitive, every day phone out there.
I loved, and still enjoy using my Sony Ericsson W810i. But the interface on it, and most other phones out there, still sucks. E-mail on most phones sucks. Web browsing on most other phones sucks too.

So, is it missing features that probably should have been there since day one? Yes.

Is the headphone slot one of the most infuriating "oversites" ever? Yes.

Is it still better than just about everything else out there (Depending on your needs of course)? Absolutely.

For now we take what we can get until apple fixes it, or someone else makes a better phone.

@Way: Good point. Everyone knows the official Apple animal is the dogcow.

i was an iphone hater for quite some time. i thought it was basically an overdone interface slapped on top of a lackluster and very rudimentary operating system. no MMS? no multiple SMS recipients? (just recently fixed, i know) no support for 3rd party developers? insanity.

i had a SE k790a and loved it. people knew i was a geek and would constantly badger me about getting one. i told them that the iphone sucked and my little james bond phone could do everything it could. i was seriously considering an n95 for a long time, as well.

but then i actually got one for my girlfriend, jailbroke it, unlocked it, and used it for one night. that did me in. i used to bring my laptop around with me everywhere just in case i needed to grab something from the interwebs, and this crazy little contraption an do all that and more. i have a deep seated obsession with knowing where i am, and was spoiled by the faux-GPS of the java download of google maps and held that over my iphone-owning friends' heads. then apple updated the firmware and got the same location tracking as i had on my phone but way slicker. i forgot about APPLE. they update things, they improve things COSTANTLY. sure, it may not have that "killer feature," or even "basic feature" NOW, but it WILL. guaranteed. look at the way apple integrated konfabulator into tiger. look how they took the popularity of quicksilver and made it an OS-level search function with spotlight. time machine. the list goes on and on. they look at what people are doing RIGHT NOW and build it into their OS. that's good for EVERYONE. it means that smaller companies have to innovate to stay one step ahead of them while apple has to find a way to make their products more useful AND more streamlined. if i don't have to install a program to get the functionality that's offered out of the box, that's one more win for apple because i stay in their home court.

we're all sitting here whining about not having note-syncing capabilities, but apple has sold how many iphones? 4 million? i don't think joe six-pack is lamenting his lack of note-syncing. he's flipping out that he can get sports scores on his phone EASILY. or look up his favorite restaurant. or browse the same internet he sees on his home computer on his phone. or post on his friend's facebook wall. the computing world has changed because of the iphone, and there's no doubt about that.

now that i'm here, however...is there something like this for windows?

@bandit: Oh and don't forget about the ever immportant ability to watch home-made videos from YouTube - because yeah - it's so important that it has it's very own button_
