iOS4 and Perth Apple Store
After an hour’s download and installing at home, I’ve spent most of this morning playing around with iOS4 on my iPhone (and seeing a few patients in between…)
And thus far I’m impressed. I love the folders feature, although it took me a while dragging app icons around on my phone to get it all organized. Now I can get to all my apps so much faster, without swiping through pages and pages of icons. And I can also download heaps more apps to play around with. Yay!
One weird thing is that I’ve downloaded the iBooks software onto my iPhone, but can’t find the App icon anywhere. I can load the app by searching for iBooks on the search screen, but the icon is nowhere to be seen (and I looked in all my folders several times!). Weird and annoying.
I like the customisable backgrounds, little GPS icon and the new location services screen. Multitasking seems quite functional, and there is no hit in terms of performance, although I haven’t really pushed it too far just yet. In fact the whole phone feels considerably more zippy than with OS3.
For a good detailed rundown on iOS4, see this article from Gizmodo.
In other Apple related news, the Perth Apple Store opens this Saturday. Look forward to checking it out, but I’m afraid it will have to wait til I get back from my UK trip (leave next Monday).
