Undocumented 1.1.1 Features

Well... not a good feature... but a quirk...
When I e-mail a photo from my iPhone... as soon as I send the photo (via my Yahoo e-mail) the phone goes back to the home screen. In short, I'm no longer where I was before (back to the original photo).
This is annoying because there are times I want to send the same photo to multiple people... and the last thing I want is to return to the home screen. I like just returning back to the photo!
Bad change.

Not on mine.
Oooh, ouch. Someone got owned.
Besides Safari, my iPhone seems pretty much snappier overall.
imap improvements
Running off my own imap server, I see several improvements.
1) switching from wi-fi to edge or vice versa while retrieving messages used to cause huge delays where it would say "connecting" for a very long time. Often I resorted to force-quitting mail and restarting it. This problem seems to be mostly gone now.
2) while deleting large volumes of email, eventually the red delete button would seem to freeze for a very long time. This problem, too, seems to be mostly gone.
In general, imap email seems to be more reliable and snappier.

Hmm.. this does not work for me. No matter which option I choose, the CAPs LOCK is not on. I assume the key to hit is the upward pointing arrow, left most in the second row from the bottom of the key board.
Ah, see I thought that setting was to enable the doubleclick shift caps lock functionality. I'll have to try turning that off. The odd thing is that it changes in some places. I'm typing this reply from my iPhone and the shift key is working perfectly, but some SMS and safari forms it remains highlighted (not blue) after a single click and I have to click it again to turn it off.
Just confirmed this is definitely a bug. Doesn't happen on this site but if I go to wachovia.com when I enter my password I have to remember to manually turn the shift key off (and I have the caps lock setting off). Where do we submit bugs anyway?
Big New Feature!!!!
We can now email a movie and view it on the iphone. Up until this release you could not view a qt movie attached in an email. It would show up at the bottom of the email but would be ghosted. I tried every format and none worked.
With 1.1.1 you can now view a video emailed to you. So far I have only tested .mp4 movies.
EDIT:
just tried .mov and it works too
EDIT 2:
So far I have tested .mp4, .mov, .m4v, and .wmv movies.
obviously .wmv does not work
.mp4 plays ok
.mov (H.264) gives a warning "This format not supported" after you download.
.m4v seems to work best
Most seem to cause a reset if you adjust volume while playing.
None of the movies will rotate to the horiz format

Can somebody confirm this? Have they actually disabled hard reset? If this is true, I'm thinking there will be a LOT more iBricks in the coming days...
Sure glad I didn't update!
I'm giving apple feedback on this and I hope they come out with a 1.1.2 fix VERY quickly. This is highly annoying. WTF apple? It's like their developers and designers don't actually use the iPhone.
While the iPhone calculator works the same as before and the same as the standard Mac calculator.app, it works different from just about every other calculator in the known world, either computer or handheld variety. Even the calculator widget in Tiger is the other way around (2+2x10=40).
Yes, I fully unerstand the precedence, and therefore the result. It's just that no other calculator around does it that way.
Yes, they do: (experiments addressing order of precedence in several calculator apps on different platforms, from an earlier post)
In XP SP2:
If you use the calculator in "Standard" mode, it will evaluate 6 + 3 * 5 as 45.
When you switch to "Scientific", it will evaluate it as 21.
(order of precedence puts "*" higher than "+", and is evaluated first, same as if the expression were written in source code ("C", and others)).
Just for fun, did the same equation in OS-X, using Apple Calculator app:
Either Basic or Scientific - 21 is the result. I'll take consistent.
If you use RPN, the operators are evaluated in the order entered, with 45 as the result.
2nd Edit:
Tried same experiment with Palm T|X:
Same inconsistencies as Windows: Basic = 45. Advanced = 21.
OK, I stand corrected. MOST other calculators don't do it that way. If there were a setting, like in XP, I would be fine with that. But old habits die hard, and trying to use this (for me, at least, since I have been used to handheld calculators since they were invented) will be very confusing and consequently won't get used very much if at all. That's just the way it is. When using a calculator, my mind automatically thinks in the "standard" way that most calculators have used since the beginning. When programming, I automatically think of operator precedence. The 2 do not have to be the same. At least give me a setting so that I can choose how it works. Tiger's calculator.app does it one way (operator precedence) and Tiger's widget calculator does it the other way (in order of entry).
If the result value is not being updated and displayed for every operator you choose, then it is performing order of operations on the entire expression and waiting for you to hit the "=". On basic hand held calculators, every press of an operator updates the value displayed. If you want basic functionality, divide your expressions up with the "=". This is not rocket science.
anybody notice this?
while everyone seems focused on the calculator, has anyone else noticed that it no longer has key clicks? it is completely silent (and no I do not have it in silence mode). I really don't like that.
The new icon is much better too!

They have not, it still works just fine for me and others have noted the same.
