Peens vs whales.
Compass is my new favorite app.
Newstand in a folder, rejoice.
Buggy as hell.
Slow as balls on my iPhone 4.
I’m unable to detect any improvements in Mail.
Swipe left to right no longer works? I imagine this will change in subsequent betas….
I guess swipe left to right is now standard for going back. Interesting…
No parallax wallpaper for the 4.
I just had to reboot because it was locked up.
Some tiny design features make me giddy.
Some make me go ‘ew, why.’
Needs the sound effects from Letterpress.
Why is the dock an ugly gray bar?
Where’s the iPad version?
What’s the deal with the calculator and mail unread icons going orange?
Still would like a standalone dictionary app.
Today was a good day.
Oh, and Amazon et al wiping out large chunks of retail. And 3D printing on-demand set to wipe out even more manufacturing, transportation, and service work. And robotics - how long will “long haul trucker” last as a viable career once Google works the bugs out of automated driving? Taxi driver? Hell, pilots?
