Well iPhone OS 3.0 is here and I can now cut and paste <sarcasm>Wow!</sarcasm>.
Tried to send a picture message and it failed but it does at least let you retry, it did finally send this morning so it might have been load on O2 or they were not ready for the update.
Can now subscribe to caldav calendars this is the first useful feature and means I now know who is on-call when I need them. Landscape keyboard in mail and messages will be great with my fat fingers, no landscape keyboard in the settings app 
. Still can not have a sig for mail per account, come on Apple that would have been useful. Spotlight is good can now find that elusive email just as easy as on my desktops.
So far its not that much of an upgrade for me but I guess i will find more of the 100+ new features over the next few days.
I have a nice shiny iLife 09 install disk in my hands 
It is nice that Apple have kept the packaging to a minimum would be nice if other software vendors did this, much better for the enviroment than the usual manual sized boxes that just have a CD/DVD rattling about in the bottom.
Anyway I want to go play with iPhoto and the 20 minute install is requiring a reboot before I can do that.
Well I liked the idea of not having M$ Office installed on all my macs so grabbed a copy of the iWork 09 trial that was announced at Macworld this week. It installed just fine and looks very nice all you would expect from an Apple app, so time to try out the important bits and open a few spreadsheets from work. This is where the fail starts, first numbers can’t open an excel file that has a password on it so straight away I’m grumbling. Next I open a sheet with no password and it gets even worse, an importing dialogue opens and tells me that split panes is not supported and its also un-hiding all my hidden rows and columns. Well that means numbers is not good enough to replace Office for me and I really do like keynote over powerpoint, not even got round to trying to open a word doc as I’m now expecting that to be just as bad with the importing.
This had better not be a sign of the things to come with iLife as I have already pre ordered that just for the face recognition stuff in iPhoto.
