iPhone 2.0 Issues

Merlin Mann recently wrote an article recently about iPhone 2.0 Glitches. I would have to agree with that list of issues but I have a few more to add to the list:

• E-mail Evaporation - I am a heavy OmniFocus user and one of the things I find myself doing often is capturing new tasks that I need to work on when away from the office (as set via the OmniFocus mail preferences). Now, when writing a new task using the Mail app on my iPhone, the app and message will evaporate after hitting the send button. Great, now instead of making better use of time, I’m wasting it. I’ve not seen other apps do this…yet.
• Podcast/Song Resume - I easily consume over 10+ hours of news and information on a weekly basis (especially now that I have been painting on the weekends). When I’m working out on the elliptical machine in the morning, I’m watching video. When I’m doing other house tasks or tooling in the garage, I’m listing to the my podcasts. Prior to version 2.0, I could pause a song or podcast midstream and resume it later. Not any longer. I can only do that with video now. Bah!

The other issues, you can read about on Merlin Mann’s site, especially about all apps being much slower to use. I’m still using the orignal iPhone and not the 3G phone but it sounds like it doesn’t matter which phone you are using, 2.0 is much slower.
