Well well, 3.0 has come and gone, and a few days passed before I had the motivation to upgrade.
I wish I hadn’t.
Out of ALL the new iPhone 3.0 features… The ones I will use are…. NOTHING!
To be fair, the new search is nice, but jailbreak app “QuickGold” did that just fine, it did have one advertisement, but it did the exact same function… In fact Apple got the idea from QuickGold.
Now, lets see what I could be using, but am not, because 3.0 killed it.
Scrobble – Scrobbles songs AS THEY ARE PLAYED over Edge, this means I could be driving somewhere, listening to my jams, and Tech Jawa and last.fm are updated instantly with what I’m listening to… It no longer scrobbles songs. Developer says he no longer uses a jailbroke iPhone, and has no plans to upgrade the app.
AppBackup – Backs up apps saved settings, saved games for games, and everything else associated with apps. I made the backup before the 3.0 format/upgrade, and went to restore, but alas, the app doesn’t work anymore!
WinterBoard Keyboards – Keyboard themes just don’t work anymore, plain and simple.
Status Notifier – Works, but you can’t configure any of its settings, as it just crashes, so I hope you’re okay with the default settings.
MobileFinder – Just plain crashes.
MobileTermainl – works… kinda, it starts upside down? o_O
Cyntact – Displays your contacts photos in your contacts list to left of their name… no photos in 3.0!
Backgrounder – Lets you run more than one app at once… no go on 3.0.
Intelliscreen – Shows calendar and weather on lock screen, nope. not anymore.
Those are just a few, I’m sure there’s TONS more… those are only the ones that affect me in any way.
