New iPhone Operating System - Good & Bad

Better camera functions, the introduction of folders (for storing documents or apps) and multitasking, among other improvements, are partly offset by shortcomings such as the failure to improve iPod functions or add support for e-mail attachments.

"The latest version of the iPhone operating system became available via iTunes today. After downloading it, installing it, and playing with it for a few hours, here are my initial impressions.

The Good Stuff

1. Improved camera performance. The camera on the iPhone 3G3 performs an order of magnitude faster than it did with software 3.1.3. It is quicker to focus, quicker to take pictures, and quicker to get back to the capture screen. It also now has a digital zoom feature."
