iPhone 2.1 Update and App Installs

Apple listened.

And they responded, too.

And that is, again, why I think the iPhone is a better phone than any other.

In v2.1 of the software, out today, they fixed a problem with installing applications. Now, when you update or install an application, it installs itself into the first empty slot—not necessarily on the front page of apps, mind you—and then, if you’re updating the app, it moves back to where it was in the first place.

Excellent!

And in other news, the 3G icon isn’t in a square anymore , though the Edge “E” still is.

Interesting. Wonder what prompted that?
