An audience of two

Wednesday October 10, 2007

Bitching about my iPhone again.
The iPhone includes a 2 megapixel camera. It doesn't take bad pictures (for a phone) even though its low-light handling is poor and it has no zoom or flash. It'll never replace my Canon Powershot, but it's great that I have been able to carry around one device and email the photos directly to Flickr.

Unfortunately, there are some huge issues with it, both concerning moving the photos to a computer. When you view them on the phone the pictures are in chronological order. But when I use the Microsoft Camera Wizard to transfer them to my laptop they get completely shuffled naming wise and it doesn't maintain the orientation correctly. The other problem is that it keeps locking up; the laptop says that it can't transfer the file and I have to reboot the phone.

The other thing that really bugs me is that there's no scrollbar on the web browser or email client. There is no quick way to skip to the end of a 250Kb message, which is insanely frustrating.

The inability to select a block of text to cut and paste is frustrating too.
