Steve,
Just how did you manage to let this one slip through testing, go on this I have to hear.
Update:
Gizmodo summary of issue
Gizmodo response from Apple
On balance it appears to be a decent upgrade, though there’s some issues on my iPhone 3g.
The good
- Google calendar integration
- Notes > gmail storage
- Changes to the mail interface & threading
The bad
- I’m sure it’s more sluggish than before, slower on the response after shifting apps. I suspect there is more checking back with the net / google / apple going on in the background.
- Google / Apple, how about a decent todo / tasklist tool?
The evil league of evil rumour mill
- iAds has been enabled for targetted adverts. It is possible to opt out http://oo.apple.com/
- However it appears that the location tracking being logged back to Apple Central{tm} and passed on to their “partners” can’t be opted out of.
- It’s possible that this isn’t as evil as it sounds but there’s nothing in the formal statements / documented agreement which completely clears their name either, It’s something I’ll be watching for and commenting on as news grows on this.
