My Thoughts on iPhone 2.1 Software Update

In this video, I give my thoughts on Apple’s latest software revision of the iPhone dubbed version 2.1.  At the Sept 9th event, Steve Jobs touted this update as being “huge” and promised it would address all of our concerns including:  application crashing/hanging, dropped calls, poor battery life, system slowness, long backup times, and the like.  Over the past 3 days, I’ve been using my iPhone with the 2.1 software for quite a bit, and I must say, I believe Steve kept his word.  Some of the areas I noticed the most were backup times, 3rd party application stability, 3rd party application installation speed, overall stability, and overall speed.  This update also brought the “Genius” feature to the iPhone which allows one to generate “super smart” playlists based a certain song.  Genius has been hit or miss for me, but generally, it does a decent job.  My personal playlists will always be better in my opinion.  So overall, if you are a user of the 2.0 software on the iPhone, I highly recommend you upgrade immediately.  This update fixes a lot of issues that I think you could benefit from.  Enjoy!
