Comments on: iPhone Hell http://kulturblog.com/2008/07/15/iphone-hell/ A pop culture blog by Mormons but not about Mormonism Sat, 26 May 2012 14:16:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: clark http://kulturblog.com/2008/07/15/iphone-hell/#comment-36828 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:00:36 +0000 http://www.kulturblog.com/?p=1671#comment-36828 BTW – the iPhone 2.0 software has been jailbroken. It’s suppose to be public this week. This means that some applications that aren’t really possible via the app store will be available. With ssh on the iPhone (which is included when you jailbreak it) you can then use terminal emulators like mobileterminal.

Alternatively, if you don’t mind installing it on your server, there is webshell.

Some of this stuff may be making it to the app store. But I suspect stuff that never would, such as tethering your computer to the phone, will come with jailbreaking.

It’s being able to type everything into the aTV from my iPhone. While I rarely use YouTube it sure would be nice to be able to type searches in. (Hopefully this week for me once my shipment arrives)

Yeah, I can now control the iTunes from my phone if I wanted to. That’s awesome! :)

o still no cut and paste
o no universal “reply to” setting in the mail app
o no voice memo syncing with your computer
o no email search (this will be painful for me)
o email UI a pain with lots of folders/emails
o no push updating of calenders
o sms is $10 a month extra on your data plan
o no mms (that’s what a lot of camera phones use to share photos)
o no turn by turn gps. (only a top down view)

I was 45th in line, they had 50 iPhones at the ATT store I was at. I had mine in hand at about noon. I was highly annoyed that they were so incredibly slow. Other than that I has been great. My wife, who thought I was crazy, wants one now.

(Your best bet is to call) One problem is that people have reserved iPhones so as soon as they come in stock they are already sold.

Good luck.
