what i hate dislike about the iphone
Monday, April 19th, 2010
So I’ve had an iPhone for nearly two years now. I still have the 3G model. It didn’t seem reasonable to upgrade to the 3GS but I can see the speed bump would have been handy. Anyway, with the announcement of iPhone OS 4 and the up-coming announcement of the iPhone HD (or whatever they’re going to call it) I was thinking about what I dislike about the iPhone/iPhone OS.
- Requires iTunes to sync stuff to phone
- Alert notifications are poor (visual/sound)
- Cannot use custom alert sounds
- Cannot change alert sound for email/calendar
- Cannot use device for storage like a USB drive (yes I know there are apps for this kind of thing but they have certain requirements)
This started out like a good idea, but that’s all I can come up with so far. iPhone OS 4 does not look like it’ll be addressing any of these.
Does anyone have anything to add?
Update: I like the way this guy thinks.
