iPhone adds lipstick, loses weight, becomes attractive
Okay, so back in November, I scooped up Mrs. Ubermick an iPhone for her birthday, and after playing with it for a while, wasn’t as big a fan as I hoped. But them crazy folks over at Apple seemed to have listened to me. (That’s what I’m telling myself.)
The recent Macworld Expo saw Steve Jobs annouce that Google Maps now had a triangulation feature included. Not exactly GPS, but as close as you can get on the iPhone, without Apple having to release new hardware. Now, that was nice, but another feature that flew completely under the radar was the release of iTunes 7.6 to accomodate Apple’s new movie rental service. What nobody announced about this update, is it now gives iPhone users the ability to manually manage their iTunes and movie libraries!
Gadzooks!
Egad!
So to view over my hatin’ on the iPhone post from November, most of them have been resolved (including the custom ringtones issue – see here). Still no 3G or true GPS, and you still can’t record video, but the little gizmo just got a WHOLE lot more attractive to me. (Especially with $150 in Apple gift cards sitting next to me leftover from Christmas!)
