iPhone 2.1 update and a cool new feature I noticed

September 13th, 2008 by Mike | Posted in blog, iPhone, info |

With my iPhone woes (mainly that I have/had shitty signal at my house), I updated my iPhone to firmware 2.1 and boy has there been some significant changes:

The UI is much faster, the keyboard rarely–if ever–lagging and I’ve noticed that most applications load much faster and are way less lagging. Plus, my signal strength is a lot (I’m talking 2-3 bars worth) better. Overall, it’s a significant improvement and I haven’t found anything to complain about.

But one thing I noticed that was really cool was the viewing of multiple albums at a time. As shown in my  picture, you can see I was listening to a bunch of Girl Talk and as I was viewing all of the songs by Girl Talk each song has the album then the artist underneath it. I don’t know why, but I think this is awesome (especially for someone like me who might just make a random playlist of songs or maybe for those using the new Genius playlist). This same type of thing happens in a playlist (see the link at the end of the post).

Just wanted to contribute to the massive amounts of rants and raves for the 2.1 software.

Another picture, this time in a playlist.
