Apple released right after the keynote on mac world a new firmware update for the iphone/ipod touch (version 1.1.3). A lot of things I mentioned in the previous posts were fixed and overall I think this update was necessary to get rid of some bugs and add some new features. I also bought the software update from iTunes (maps, mail, notes, stocks, weather,…). Maps is good but can never find my current location. I think this is probably more a Europe thing cause it locates you by the nearest wifi hotspot that has been indexed. The mail app rocks, had to search for a while to get my outgoing mail settings correct but now it works wonderful. Weather and stocks are not really usefull for me. Notes is cute.

I like the way the apps communicate with each other. Place an adress from someone in your contacts directly to maps, add a person in a mail you’re typing, open an url that’s been sent by mail, … They work together, and that’s very powerfull.

You can also add bookmarks to your homescreen and customize it. Just tap an item long enough and the icons will start shaking. Drag and place them where you want, press the home button and they’re saved. You can have more then one page on the desktop where you can scroll through.
