Apart from the overbearing colorization of the text, it did look like a very basic version of a Google-optimized Linux distro. I think the important thing to remember is that this OS is primarily about running Chrome and browser-based apps. What the dock looks like is not terribly important.
What a lame apology. If anything he should be beat with a large stick for his impudence. He sounds like a dog with is tail between his legs, not really sorry, just sheepish because he wasn't clever enough to actually pull it off.
@Lance eagles3strong: It's just a mockup of a white wallpaper with some text on it and a one-item dock. I think you're being a little harsh on the Beav, Ward. He didn't do anything terrible.
Another bug that I notice, though may not be a prevalent issue, is non-responsiveness of the playback window that pops up after double pressing the home button while on hold, or just navigating outside of the music app.
As a business tool, the iPhone is sorely lacking. In order for me to get my iPhone to give me push calendar, I have to have Google Calendar sync with my copy of Outlook and then I have to use Nuevasync to push my Google Calendar to the iPhone. A better method would be to have the iPhone 3G to actually do what a Blackberry has been able to do for years.
@Duc: I shit thee not. I just want to be able to get my work calendar and email on my phone using the platform that most businesses (including the one I work for) use.
I know Apple has an irrational hatred for Microsoft but at some point Cupertino is going to have to accept that Microsoft is the standard for business.
I suspect that this business a round Apple's neglect of copy/paste is that they're stumped on how to make it super easy, but at the same time refuse to dish out a stopgap measure until they can get it up to whatever crazy standard they may have for it. Are there apps that can copy & paste on jailbroken phones right now? If so, can anyone who's tried it tell me if it works well?
Oh come on. You guys know Apple. They aren't going to put in Copy and Paste until Apple thinks it's ready. Knowing Apple's attention to detail and the user experience, they are probably going to hold off on it until it's tweaked just right.
In a nutshell: We are probably going to be waiting for it, but it's for the better.
Also: I wonder if Street View works with the GPS? Because that would make me actually use it. And the public transit support rules as well.

Respond when you want - if you don't have reception, the phone will send the message in the background once you do.
