OS 3.0 Wins My Heart...But WoW stole my Soul

*hangs head in shame*

I know it's pathetic, a 10 day trial shouldn't be so addictive, but it is...

•ahem• in other news, today, the new OS came out for the iPhone, which I woke up for around 6. Had to steady myself, read all the speculation, watch the twitterverse for the reactions, etc.

It took three tries for me to download mine, as luck would have it. First time, it stopped suddenly, and upon examining the wire to the USB port, I noticed a rather sad fact: my cord was slightly severed on several sections. Deep, hateful thoughts of a purring cat nearby stormed my mind, but luckily I have 3 backups. Second time I accidentally ripped it out in my eagerness to tend to the massive radar tribute cookie cooking in my oven:



Finally, I unplugged it after I *thought* my phone was going to explode because it *whirr'd* at me. Turned out it was a ringtone. Btw, thanks for the solicitation call ATT. I hate you.

My favorite thing, hands down about the iPhone: the faster shutter response on the camera-Stitch just got more cuddly! It used to take a good 10-15 seconds for my camera to open. Now? Barely one! And the picture *usually* comes back really really clear! Please see the images below:





He heard a noise and shuffled closer-normally this would be a brownish blur of sadness-but the new camera caught those huge eyes of his quite nicely.






About 1/2 a second before he batted at the phone. Lol.


Other notably cool features: the recording mic thingy. *note my lack of proffesionalism*





Croon like Ol' Blue Eyes- but don't expect the crackling sound of record static. Now, you can hear Whispers, the annoying shuffle of your restless spouse who didn't want to download his earlier, etc.





Too lazy to scroll? So am I. Welcome to Search! Type in the first few letters, and find any app, song, contact, or email in your phone. May the slothfulness commence!





Watch TV shows on your phone during boring long hours of work. Company policies everywhere are ready to be re-written. Sadly, mostly call centers.







Finally, the ol' copy and paste thingamabob. In case you don't want to rewrite the text your sister just sent saying don't tell Ashley- so you can send it to Ashley- you can now highlight it and dump it. Win! Blackmail and sibling rivalries just went to defcon EPIC.

*yawn* bed, peeps. *whew*
