Free iPhone Apps Review & Download: iSilo v1.31 for iPhone

 The iSilo application, whose earlier incarnations were much beloved of doctors, lawyers, and others who sought a way to carry HTML reference material on their PDA since time immemorial, was released for the iPhone platform back in August.

As I mentioned when I covered it then, I had been a heavy user of iSilo for PalmOS back in the day, since I cordially disliked the MobiPocket PalmOS application and iSilo was the only other convenient way to get Baen Webscription books onto my Palm, Visor, or Clié.

However, I hadn’t used it since my last Clie bit the dust. There had been other ways to read those books, such as FBReader on my Nokia 770 and Bookshelf on my iPod Touch. When I downloaded the first version available from the store, I was fairly unimpressed, so I decided to put off reviewing it until it got a little better.

That time has come now. With the release of version 1.30-1.31, iSilo has moved considerably closer to ready for prime-time. It has added support for viewing a number of non-iSilo document formats (most notably PDF), and also supports loading documents with WebDAV rather than needing a sync conduit application—an innovation I would like to see in other readers, such as Stanza or Bookshelf.

 

The iSilo document format

In order to convert documents from HTML into iSilo format, you will need to download  the free iSiloX converter program. This program will allow you to convert any single page or collection of linked pages into an iSilo-compatible e-book.

Some websites, such as Munseys, also offer preconverted iSilo-format books for download. (It should be noted, however, that Munseys uses an older version of the iSilo format, which shows up double-spaced on newer iSilo apps, so you will get better results if you convert them yourself.)

iSilo is a format that has been evolving since shortly after the introduction of the original Palm Pilots. At its root, it is intended as a way to take text formatted in HTML and translate it to a form that can be read on a PDA, with as little human intervention as possible along the way.

In this respect, it has a couple of notable advantages over the other HTML conversion document format, MobiPocket. With iSilo, if you have a table of contents for a book in HTML format with links to all the chapters, all you need to do is point iSiloX at the table of contents and tell it to fetch that to a link-depth of 1. It creates the book for you, with the table of contents at the beginning”and links from the table of contents to other parts of the book work just as they would if you were viewing through a web browser.

On the other hand, I have never yet been able to make a MobiPocket-converted file with a built-in table of contents, even when I had that same table of contents HTML file.

This also makes iSilo a natural for mirroring websites. Just feed iSiloX the URL and link depth, and it will produce an archive file that can be browsed just as if it was the actual website. Of course, this was much more useful back in the PalmOS days when the presentation of the web on a portable device was much more limited.

The iSilo iPhone App: User Interface

 Both having names that start with a lower-case “i,” it would seem that iSilo and the iPhone were made for each other. At $9.99 on the App Store, it is half the price of the iSilo client for other platforms (though this price may be raised at any time).

Like other platforms’ iSilo clients, the iPhone version is capable of reading iSilo-format documents. However, unlike the other versions, the lack of hardware buttons on the iPhone leads to some hard choices in the user interface.

Scrolling up and down can be done by dragging and “flicking” just as with other iPhone apps. But there are other functions that can be performed by single, double, or triple-tapping the screen at various points. (They can be edited from within the Options menus.)

Tapping in the very middle of the screen brings up a display of the single-tap commands, then tapping again in the same place switches to the display of double-tap commands (as seen at left), then triple-tap.

Thus, tapping twice in the lower left corner of the screen would move to the previous page in the document, or tapping twice in the middle top would page up. The interface is a bit clunky, with so many different locations and taps to remember—and if you are in the habit from using other applications of just tapping anywhere in the lower part of the screen, iSilo could be a little hard to get used to.

Configuration Menu

Another place where the interface is a little clunky is in the configuration menu (accessed by tapping the “More” icon at the lower right corner of the screen). This will bring up a list of all possible functions—File, Edit, Find, Mark, Go To, and Tools—in one single panel.

Some of the options are a bit unclear. For instance, if you want to change the font, you need to go to the “Edit” section and choose “Options”. (However, changing the font is frequently ineffective; see below.) The options for autoscroll, rotation lock (to prevent the screen from changing orientation if you flip the device on its side), and full screen display are under “Tools,” at the very bottom.

Thus, to engage full-screen mode (getting rid of the title bar at the top and the menu bar at the bottom), you must go into the configuration menu and scroll to the very bottom. (Also, if you attempt to page down with a tap, you will come right back out of it again, since it is turned off by tapping at the bottom of the screen where the menu bar would be.) There is room for improvement here.

Viewing Other File Types

 Unlike other iSilo clients, the iPhone version of iSilo has been blessed with the ability to display several document formats in addition to iSilo—most notably PDF, Word, RTF, unaltered HTML, as well as JPEG and other image formats. No conversion is necessary to load these documents into iSilo. Perhaps the iSilo people figured that these document viewing abilities might make the iPod iSilo more attractive to people who had never used it before.

Most of the PDFs I loaded as a test displayed adequately—at least as well as they would appear in Air Sharing’s viewer. The only failures were a Wowio PDF (which only displayed the first couple of pages and everything else was blank—perhaps this was due to whatever copy protection method Wowio uses) and my 153-megabyte Spycraft 2.0 PDF (iSilo churned gamely away for a couple of minutes trying to load it, then the iPod crashed to the silver-apple screen—but then, I didn’t really expect it to work).

Loading iSilo: “I can do that, WebDAV.”

 Once you have files in a format iSilo can read, it is necessary to load them. As with eReader, iSilo can pull down compatible files from any web server, including one on your own desktop computer. But unlike eReader (or BookShelf, or Stanza), iSilo offers the ability to load files into its memory without needing a webserver or any specialized PC-side conduit at all.

Like Air Sharing, iSilo has its own WebDAV server built in. This means that you can tell iSilo to set itself up as a file server on your wireless network which you can access with a URL. You can then add it to “My Network Places” on your Windows computer, explore to it, and move files into and out of it just as you would any network drive. In short, the app itself is also its own conduit.

This also means that you can use iSilo just as you would Air Sharing—as a network hard drive utility to transfer files from one computer to another without ever wanting or needing to view them on the iPhone.

Loading files in this way is easy and fast, at least for me. It means no having to mess around with a conduit that may not actually work properly. I wish other e-reading apps would offer this function!

Text Display

iSilo books are displayed by default in a Verdana sans serif font. They can be viewed in either portrait or landscape; iSilo has a very smooth accelerometer screen-flip function. The documents look very much as they did in their original HTML format (making allowances for screen size), including italics, bold, links, and even tables.

The font is reminiscent of the fonts available on the old PalmOS devices where iSilo was born. Someone used to reading on those devices might see very little difference in how the document is displayed.

However, these days I tend to prefer reading in a serif font, such as Georgia, for the way it guides the eyes along. iSilo does have a font-setting dialogue under its Options menu, where the font can be changed to any that is available on the iPhone—but for some inexplicable reason, of all the documents I tried to change the font with, the only one where it stuck was the converted HTML Tor e-book of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire (as seen in the screenshot near the top of this review).

I am not sure whether something in the document’s HTML (or in my iSiloX conversion of it) is overriding my font choice, or if it’s something wrong with the iSilo client—but whatever it is, it certainly is annoying.

[Edit: I have since been informed that this has to do with the way that iSilo documents have a specific font family (serif or sans serif) set, and you must choose which font is displayed for each family. You can choose to set a serif font to be displayed for sans serif families, by turning "Set Defaults" on, changing "Family" to "Sans Serif," and then choosing the serif font, such as "Georgia". I tried this, and it worked. Still, it only serves as more evidence of the overall clunkiness of the application and its configuration options.]

One thing I have found while reading documents in iSilo is that sometimes the scrolling can be decidedly sluggish. Sometimes it will not even scroll at all, no matter how much I flick it—and then it comes unstuck and immediately jumps several pages down.

Another mild annoyance has to do with the “soft” scrolling selection from iSiloX—a format conversion option which is supposed to allow scrolling across boundaries between different webpages in the same iSilo file.

I used soft scrolling with Baen Webscription books (which are set up in a one-webpage-per-chapter format) when I was using iSilo on my PalmOS machines so I would not have to click a link to jump to the next chapter, just hit the down button again to scroll across the boundary. However, the iPhone iSilo client does not seem to recognize soft scrolling. (I wonder if it is because of the same API issue that makes BookShelf have to load books in 35K chunks?)

Conclusion

Back in the PalmOS era, iSilo offered an unparalleled ability to convert HTML documents to a form that could be conveniently carried on a Palm. Since it was the only game in town at the time (other options such as Plucker had not yet come along), it was immediately adopted by professions that relied on rapid access to significant amounts of reference material—most notably the legal and medical professions.

To this day, a number of medical and legal reference sites continue to support iSilo, and the lack of an iSilo reader had been cited by doctors or lawyers as an overwhelming reason why they could not switch from their old PDA to an iPhone. Happily for those doctors and lawyers, this has now changed. I would have no compunction at all recommending the iPhone iSilo to people who need to use iSilo professionally (or others who have a bunch of files already in iSilo formats).

However, due to its current clunkiness in comparison to the various other choices available,Now i am searched the iSilo v1.31 for iPhone free share for you! Enjoy it!

iPhone Games for the Christmas Season

There are now over a thousand games listed in iTunes and they vary greatly in quality and price tag. So its can be a real nightmare trying to find the good ones. Over the next few posts we will be reviewing some of the recently released games. For now, we will stick to those targeting the Christmas season.

There are eight Christmas-theme games listed in iTunes – six released in December and two in November. All carry a price tag! What is troubling about these – and other recently released games – is that in many cases the support site and/or game home sites listed for the developers don’t actually have information (or even mention) the game! The game will get a solid rave on itunes, but when we follow the link – nada!

Take Rudolf’s Revenge – released at the beginning of November. In this case, clicking the link to the site results in a “The url is not valid and cannot be loaded” message. The support link works but does not send us to the support page on the site. OK there is a clear tab at the top to “support” BUT, the game itself does not get a mention anywhere on their site. It’s been two months, dudes. If you don’t think its worth a mention, why would we buy it? (No, not a freebie)

And much the same can be said for Christmas Trivia (they do have a site – if you count half a page and a few short sentences as a site, but no support). They do mention their game – sort of – apparently, however, its too much work to list the game by its full title, so they haven’t! Nuff said!

Macphun have done a few games for iPhones – but their current offering – Christmas Puzzle – also does not get a mention on their site! For Christmas Swap, we get “New site coming soon”, and its support is “coming soon” as well! Christmas Season also has a “coming soon” for the game details and support. Poor show for games that have a price tag.

AND NOW:- THE GOOD NEWS….

On the bright side, there are three games in the list that have good site back-up. These games are also well developed and are, we think, the better games in the bunch. In fact, the iPhonegizmo team have found that the quality of the site backing up the game is an indicator of game quality.

Three out of eight aint bad? Well, unless that reflects the results for all 1000+ games…….!

The three games that get good site/product support are: Christmas Spell, ELFrun, and, to a lesser extent, SnapIt – Christmas Edition.

We give the prize for best site support, to ELFrun which goes the extra mile and provides a video trailer for the game.

Some Ultimate Guide to iPhone Games

The iPhone Games are here. The iPhone Games are here! Things are going to start happening to me now! As of this morning you can download iTunes 7.7 and add the App Store to your iPhone. Why would you do that? So you can check out the spiffy new games they have available. Yeah, I’m sure some of the games currently available will be shovelware, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be some gems.

Hit up our guide to what’s to come on the jump. We’ll also be updating this page throughout today and tomorrow with hands on impressions of the games as we play through some. Feel free to make requests in comments.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D
Price: $5.99
Developer: Polarbit
Details: The nefarious Nitrous Oxide has joined forces with evil genius Dr. Cortex and his demented side-kick Ripper Roo, in a plot to beat the Bandicoots into submission once and for all, and at long last clear the way for world domination. In order to lure Crash and his gang out in the open, they stage a Kart tournament. The winners will be crowned “Kings Of Kart Racing For All Eternity”, the losers will be banished from N. Sanity Island.
Impressions:The best racer on the iPhone to date, hands down. In the game you guide Crash, or a slew of other unlockable drivers, around a course by tilting the iPhone back and forth. You brake the vehicles by tapping under the kart and drift by tapping above and to the right or left as you turn. You can also collect power-ups which you use by tapping their icons. The two races I ran through on the game were seamless and even managed some fairly fun graphics. The one downside? You guessed it. No multiplayer.

Tetris
Price: $10
Developer: Electronic Arts
Description: Drag, flick and poke your way through 15 challenging levels. Push your touch screen to the limit in Marathon Mode and earn amazing powers in new Magic Mode. Give your fingers a workout by clearing rows to rack up points.
Impressions: I’d love to say that this is a great use of the iPhone’s touchscreen or that Tetris on the iPhone was fun, but the fact is everytime I tried to play the game it crashed just as the menu loaded up. This is, so far, the only iPhone game I’ve ever had crash on me.

SEGA Columns Deluxe (with Puyo Pop)
Price: $4.99
Developer: Sega America
Description: Return to ancient Phoenicia and behold the jeweled Columns as you strategically align falling gems across, down or diagonally. Let the screen fill with gems and its game over. In Puyo Pop, race against the clock to match color groups of cute gelatinous Puyo’s and create chain reactions as they fall. Go for the highest score possible as the Puyo’s falling speed increases.
Impressions: The Columns half of this Sega puzzle collection is based on Columns III, but is strictly single-player only. It’s far more playable than the Puyo Pop side, which borders on uncontrollable via the iPhone’s touchscreen. Faithful ports that lack any semblance of fun due to painfully slow, unreliable controls. Carbuncle’s cute, though!

Trism
Price: $5
Developer: Demiforce
Details: The Bejeweled-esque title uses the iPhone’s accelerometer for a hardware appropriate block matching twist on the genre.
Impressions: OK I’ve got a new addiction, and I can carry it around in my pocket. Trism’s slight tweak on the Bejewled game play is so profound that it changes the way you have to think about puzzle gaming. The basic premise, as with most puzzle games, is really simple. You have rows and columns of mutli-colored triangles. You slide them around to line at least three up and clear a space. The twist? The iPhone can detect which way you are holding the phone and drops the triangles into recently filled holes from the proper direction. So now you have to think carefully about which way to hold the phone before making a move. The fun basic play is backed up by three game modes, 22 unlockable achievements and an online international ranking board (I’m currently number two.) They even included a colorblind mode. One of my favorite iPhone games so far.

Chess and Backgammon
Price: $10
Developer: Gameloft
Details: Chess and Backgammon on the iPhone.
Impressions:Chess Classics is fairly robust for a portable version. It includes single player chess, quiz, pass-the-iPhone two-player and even a way to read about classic games and then watch them unfold on a board. There are nine levels of difficulty (ranging from monkey to master) and four board themes. During play you can choose to move the camera around in a 3D view or play in 2D.
The Backgammon in the game is also a fun take on the game, with three board types, a bit of a tutorial and the chance to play against a friend. You can roll the dice by touching the dice cup or shaking your iPhone.

Super Monkey Ball
Price: $9.99
Developer: Other Ocean
Details: Play Super Monkey Ball with title controls.
Impressions: The iPhone’s title controls are a perfect match to the monkey-in-a-ball gameplay. The game responds quickly with no noticeable slowdown. While you can pause the game in mid action with a touch to the screen, leaving to the iPhone’s main menu shuts it down completely. The game includes five locations each 11 stages. You can also choose to control four different monkeys. Lots of pick-up and play fun.

Moto Racer
Price: $9.99
Developer: Freeverse
Details: Ah, the wind in your hair, the bugs in your teeth and the open road stretching out in front of you! Using the iPhone’s cool accelerometer, (you know, that doohickey that knows when your iPhone is sideways or not), you can steer your motorcycle to victory in this wild racing game. Awesome characters and a touch of humor, its a Freeverse game after all, will add to the fun.
Impressions: Freeverse’s tilt racer tries to do a lot of different things. It has tilt controls, a single button you press on screen for gas and the ability to feed nearby motorcycle adversaries a knuckle sandwich. But the controls are a bit too responsive to handle the course at times, the lack of a brake is a total turn off and the ability to drive through some graphics makes the game not so much fun.

Cromag Rally
Price: $9.99
Developer: Pangea
Details: In Cro-Mag Rally you are a speed-hungry caveman named Brog who races through the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages in primitive vehicles such as the Geode Cruiser, Bone Buggy, Logmobile, Trojan Horse, and many others . Brog has at his disposal an arsenal of primitive weaponry ranging from Bone Bombs to Chinese Bottle Rockets and Heat Seeking Homing Pigeons. In addition to single-player racing where one player races against the computer, there are also several different multi-player modes (available only when running on OS 9) including Tag, Capture the Flag, and Survival. Two players can play on a single computer in split-screen mode, or up to 6 players can play over a network.
Impressions: It’s no Mario Kart, but it can be a bit of fun to play. The tilt controls are well adjusted and you have the option to make them more or less sensitive. Gas and reverse are controlled by touching and holding an arrow pointing forward or back. Brakes can be applBied by touching a wheel icon and you can throw the game’s few weapons forward or backward by pressing on the top or bottom of a bone picture. Yes, that’s a lot of touching, but the game is still very playable. I just wish they had better avatars and more than the male or female you get to choose from. There’s a straight up racing mode and a collecting mode, which has you racing while trying to find arrow heads. No multiplayer, which makes me very, very sad.

Zen Pinball: Rollercoaster
Price: $4.99
Developer: ZEN Studios
Details: 3D touch-based pinball simulator.

Impressions: This single-table pinball sim is amazing. The amount of sound, action and graphics they managed to pack into Zen Pinball simply blows me away. This game stands right up there with some of my favorite console versions of pinball. Flippers are controlled by tapping either side of the screen and you can even move around the camera angle and then lock it back in place while paused. The only thing the game seems to be missing is the ability to bump the table, which is slightly annoying.

Bomberman Touch: The Legend Of Mystic Bomb
Price: $7.99
Developer: Hudson
Details: Lost in the jungle after a plane crash, Bomberman must rescue an ancient treasure from KA-BOOM Temple.
Impressions: Bomberman, a classic looking, classic feeling Bomberman, can only be a good thing, no matter what platform it shows up on. In this case, it’s a great thing. The crisp graphics, the upbeat music, the hand-drawn looking cut-scenes, it all comes together nicely on the iPhone. You control Bomberman, once he whips off his Jungle Adventurer costume, by holding a finger on the screen, anywhere on the screen, and moving it around. You drop bombs by touching a bomb icon and use special abilities, like kicking a bomb or remotely detonating a bomb, with other action buttons. Quite a bit of fun on the go.

Texas Hold ‘Em
Price: $5
Developer: Apple
Details: Offline and online Texas Hold ‘Em.
Impressions: This version of Texas Hold ‘Em is packed with options and a delight to both play and look at. If you hold your iPhone sideways you can play the game from a top down perspective, but twist the phone upright and you get a full motion video showing the current player considering their hand or the dealer if it’s your turn. Not only can you play through the game’s multiple rooms, and choose from four pages of personal avatars, but you can also play against up to seven players via WiFi. If you’re into poker this is a must buy.

Motion X Poker
Price: $4.99
Developer: Fullpower Technologies
Details: Casino game where players shake the iPhone to roll dice.
Impressions: Motion X Poker is really just a poker dice game, but man, is it impressive. The ability to shake well-rendered 3D dice by shaking your phone, coupled with the rumble feature, is amazing. You can also choose to just roll a set of five dice. The game comes with 38 total different dice sets, though only eight are available at the start. The ability to roll dice and play whatever game you’d like is cool, though I wish they made it possible for you to select how many dice are on the screen. Also, wouldn’t it be great if they added different types of dice, like a 20-sider, to it down the line?

Sudoku Vol. 1
Price: $5.99
Developer: Hudson
Details: Classic Sudoku gameplay oriented for the touch screen.
Impressions: Volume one of this fairly workable version of Sudoku includes 15 puzzles. The game is straight forward and includes both the ability to get hints in a puzzle (which is tracked) and the ability to use place marker numbers, a must for any serious puzzle solving. I like the presentation, but not the rather small number of
puzzles, though even the first is fairly hard.

Critter Crunch
Price: $9.99
Developer: Capybara Games
Details: IGF Mobile 2008 winner and IGN Mobile Best Puzzle Game of 2007. Lets players control Biggs, a friendly forest-dweller with an unending hunger for tasty critters. Using his long tongue, Biggs must set the food chain in motion by launching smaller creatures into the mouths of larger ones, clearing the screen and filling his belly.
Impressions: It’s pretty clear why this game’s won so many awards. It’s accessible, polished, easy to play and has a fantastically adorable art aesthetic, albeit a little twisted in the context of feeding cute little blob guys until they explode into jewels and money. The core concept is simple — organize the critters stacked in columns from one side of the screen to the other by grabbing them with a long tongue and then spitting them out where you’d like to place them. If a critter lands on one bigger than itself, it gets eaten, and you can create chains to clear the board. But different types of challenges, special items and cool strategic complications give it continually surprising depth and keep it interesting.

Enigmo
Price: $9.99
Developer: Pangea
Details: Physics based game that has you trying to move water droplets into a container.
Impressions: Enigmo is a fairly simple physics-based puzzler that has you moving objects around to try and divert falling drops of water into a container. The touch screen is used to place, move and rotate the objects. The game’s basic graphics and fairly straight forward premise really didn’t grab me.

Bubble Bash
Price: $7.99
Developer: Gameloft
Details: Toss multi-colored bubbles into the sky to pop three or more of the same color.
Impressions: This Hawaiian-themed Puzzle Bobble (aka Bust A Move) clone is one of the slickest iPhone games we’ve played. Aiming is simple and reliable courtesy of a touchscreen slider and an optional accelerometer control scheme. Fantastic presentation with plenty of variety and unlockables makes this one of the must-buys (if you must buy an iPhone Puzzle Bobble clone).

Aqua Forest
Price: $7.99
Developer: Hudson
Details: Particle physics-based puzzler.
Impressions: This physics based puzzle game goes for zen appeal, with a soundtrack that should appeal to the nightly Echoes listener and straightforward iPhone tilting gameplay. You’ll draw and erase portions of the playfield with the touchscreen to guide water or a little will o’ the wisp into the safe zone. For the price, we expected better than a chuggy framerate, sloppy English and a confusing interface. Aqua Forest has potential for fun, if you can get past the half-baked presentation.

Crosswords
Price: $9.99
Developer: Stand Alone
Details: Download and solve crossword puzzles from many newspapers.
Impressions: An expertly crafted Crosswords application that pulls in puzzles from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Sydney Morning Herald and The Onion AV Club, among others. The interface borders on perfect, with informative progress bars for each puzzle, multiple hint options, a familiar Edit feature for deleting old puzzles, and smart touchscreen interaction. Only quibble? No obvious way to turn off the click sound during typing. Excellent.

Etch a Sketch
Price: $4.99
Developer: Freeze Tag
Details: Classic Etch a Sketch drawing using the touch screen.
Impressions: Etch-A-Sketch is pretty much Etch-A-Sketch, sure you can TOTALLY CHEAT by using your finger to draw on the screen, but besides that it’s just like the real thing. There are two knobs on the bottom of the red frame which you can use to sketch out images if you don’t want to TOTALLY CHEAT. You can also add shapes and change the color of the image. There are options to save and send your pictures, which you probably created by TOTALLY CHEATING and you can even add background pictures to sketch over. The game also has a place holder for sketching by tilting, which it says is coming in the first free update. The best part? You erase your image by shaking the iPhone. Yes, I’m easily amused.

Ms. Pac-Man
Price: $9.99
Developer: Namco Networks America
Description: It’s Ms. Pac-Man. On an iPhone.
Impressions: A faithful rendition of an arcade classic, Ms. Pac-Man looks and sounds just like it did in 1983. Unfortunately, none of the three control scheme options work very well, making it difficult to play an honest game. The touch screen D-pad and accelerometer are both unreliable with the “Swipe” mode your best bet for dodging ghosts. The presentation is solid, but trying to make it to level 256 with an iPhone would require Sisyphusian effort.

Details: Looks to be a Locoroco-esque puzzle title using the touch screen for movement.

Raging Thunder
Price: $3.99

Details: Not a realistic racing simulator, Raging Thunder is a game based on tried and true arcade values. Speed, accessibility and fun, in other words, trump the limitations imposed by so called ‘real world physics’. In the world of Raging Thunder there are no such things as ‘too narrow turns’ or ‘impossible overtakes’ (and luckily, definitely no such things as ‘traffic control officers’).

Deveopler: Tapulous
Details: Tap Tap Revenge, originally created by the incredible Nate True, is super-awesome mega-fun for the whole family, and we know you’re gonna love it. We can’t divulge too many details, but suffice to say it involves tapping, tapping, and revenge!

The best thing about the 2.2 iPhone software update

When it comes to iPhone software updates, I’m all about the basics. Apple could enable the iPhone to cook my dinner every night, but if it added multimedia messaging in the same update, then that’s the thing that would excite me. Remember last January’s update 1.1.3 for the iPhone Classic? While the quasi-GPS functionality got the most attention, I was much more excited that you could now send a text message to multiple people.

So for the iPhone 2.2 software update that Apple released today, it’s the ability to turn off the auto-correction in the keyboard that excites me the most. It is useful most of the time, but other times the feature drives me crazy. Almost every other cell phone on the planet allows you to do this, so it’s nice to see that the iPhone now does the same. Of course, the other additions are more than welcome–here’s hoping that the Safari Web browser really gets “Improved stability and performance”–but I know what I like.

On a related note, the addition of Google Street View is both cool and creepy in that way that only Google can make you feel. Yet, I think that Apple could have been a little more clear on how you find it. Instead of being accessible through a dedicated button in the Maps application, you first must drop a pin and the map and then select the little person icon to see the view from that location. Once you’re there it works well, but getting there isn’t the most intuitive process.
