Well, not so much a complaint about the iPhone … more a complaint about the manufacturers of iPhone accessories.

Specifically … I really wish they would design accessories that are supposed to hold and/or dock the iPhone so they are adjustable enough to accommodate a sleeve or case that the iPhone might be in.

It’s been more than a year since we got the original iPhones … so when Apple announced the new hardware version for the iPhone, I figured it was probably worth getting.  The new version has a lot of features that I wanted … and, frankly, thought should have been in the first version.

This post is being written with the Wordpress app for iPhone.

As expected, it’s pretty awkward to use, but functional.

• Documentation is non-existent … but that’s coming, according to the announcement post.
• Decent integration with the camera & photo roll, although there doesn’t appear to be a way to position the pictures.
• Can’t see a way to do trackbacks or even enter URL’s.
• It’s not clear if the text is entered in HTML or just plain text.

It’s going to take some getting used to … but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the next ‘killer app’.

FWIW: This post was originally entered on the iPhone, but edited in regular Wordpress.

Ok, I got both iPhones upgraded to the 2.0 version of the iPhone OS.

Initially, I had some trepidation about upgrading a day early … and my feeling seemed to be valid when a co-worker tried to upgrade his phone and had a bunch of problems.  He kept getting an “Unknown error (6)” message.  I don’t know if he actually got his upgraded.

Regardless, I decided to throw caution to the wind and upgrade my phone anyways.  Luckily, it worked without a single hitch.

When I got home from work, I proceeded to upgrade Ginny’s phone.  This, of course, is where I ran into problems.

I started the upgrade process by first upgrading her iTunes to 7.7.  That worked without any problems.  Then I proceeded to upgrade her phone.

Initially it was going OK … then I got an “Unknown error (10)” message.  Figuring that I would just restore the phone to it’s previous OS version, I tried the restore option … but when I did this  I got an “Unknow error (20)” message.  Tried a few more times and got the same message.  This is not good.

I Googled around a bit and found a thread in the Apple support forum that said that, if I pressed Option (shift in Windows context) and clicked the restore button, I could ‘Recover’ to the 2.0 firmware.  Luckily this worked.

About 20 minutes later I had Ginny’s iPhone working fine.

Five minutes after that, I we were both playing with the “Phone Saber” application.
