Things I hate about the iPhone, in no particular order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No support for third party, native apps.<\/li>\n
  2. Exchange support requires IMAP. Why not support the RPC mechanism?<\/li>\n
  3. Notes don’t sync to anything meaningful on the computer(!!!).(But this is fixed in Leopard.)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. No support for third party, native apps. Oh, I already said that?<\/li>\n
  5. EDGE is okay but 3G is better. Technically more of a wistful sigh than a hate.<\/li>\n
  6. Mobile Safari crashes for no apparent reason from time to time.<\/li>\n
  7. No podcasts available from the WiFi Music Store.<\/li>\n
  8. Easily the most annoying for me: no Keychain Utility.<\/li>\n
  9. No Adobe Flash support? Seriously? Rarrrgh, Hulk mad!<\/li>\n
  10. WPA Enterprise is not supported for WiFi (only WPA Personal).<\/li>\n
  11. Can’t play (most) audio and video attachments in email.<\/li>\n
  12. Easily the most disappointing: no IM client.See also: No support for third party, native apps.<\/li>\n
  13. No way to use music created in Garage Band, et al.<\/em> as a ringtone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You will note that I am not mentioning, and nor will I mention, anything about the wireless carrier. That’s a religious war, not a technical issue, and frankly it’s not a problem for me. (Draw your own conclusions on that statement, as you please.)<\/p>\n

    Don’t fret, dear reader, I have another list of things for part 2: iLove the iPhone.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE, via TUAW: Apple: “we plan to have an iPhone SDK in developers’ hands in February”<\/a>This is getting spooky. Steve Jobs, are you reading my blog?<\/p>\n

    UPDATE 2: Oh yeah. Added “ringtones” above.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE 3:\u00a0Notes don’t sync<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
