iPhone update 1.1.3

Nice!

Especially the location on maps.

Now can you fix the bugs, Steve?

iPhone Bugs

It seems to me that Apple should make an effort to fix iPhone bugs
instead of just focusing on thatting hacks.

Two bugs I would like them to fix - both in Safari:

Select field length: if the text in a select option is longer than the
field, it displays past the end.

The first option of a multi-select is selected by default.

There is some bug in the iPhone mail app

Now it says I have -4 messages and 5 of them are unread, when I really have none, either read or unread.

Use Yahoo! search on iPhone!!

I just changed my iPhone Safari prefs to use Yahoo! for search. Now I can read and use the search results!

Sent from my iPhone

2 Billion + messages!

Is this what everyone gets? After I delete all my emails in my inbox on my iPhone, because I use a different system as my primary mail system, I get this. 2,147,483,644 unread messages. Given that this is only 4 less than 2^32, I am guessing it is some type conversion or overflow problem.

Mobilizer, The Bookmarklet

Well, Google Mobilizer is helping me do more things with my iphone with less effort. Now I have written a bookmarklet for it: Here it is!

Reading news on iPhone

I have a new iPhone, and I have been trying to figure out how to read news on it. Sure, I can sort of read regular web sites, but it is not exactly user friendly to do that. NYT has narrow columns, so it sort of works. Other places, I end up scrolling horizontally back and forth. I don't really want to read in depth articles on my iPhone, just a quick news summary, like you get in some rss feeds. There is the rss reader that apple provides, but that limits the summaries to 2 lines. I hate that. And I think you have to use bookmarks, which I think are a little cumbersome anyway.

So I put together a simple quick and dirty rss reader site, with some rss feeds right in a pulldown. You could potentially build a link to read your own custom rss feeds, but I have not made that easy yet.

Let me know what you think.
