iPhone is making life less fun by Thom McGrath
Yeah, you read that headline correctly. There's really two reason, one more obvious that the other.

Bad Apple! No Biscuit! by Thom McGrath
In reference to my "OH GOD IT'S SHUFFLING" bug reported a couple days ago, I've found it not to be a bug, just horrible UI.
For cryin' out loud... STOP SHUFFLING!!! by Thom McGrath
Alright, I've officially found my most annoying bug of the iPhone - it's shuffling all of my music.
Apple added a very handy "Shuffle" item to the top of every playlist - something I have wanted for a very long time. Pressing it picks a song at random and plays it, and keeps shuffling through only songs in the playlist - excellent. But when I don't want to shuffle (I have one playlist which I intentionally list my newest stuff first and usually like to play it in that order) it'll shuffle anyway. It'll play the song I selected first, but then instead of going to song #2, it'll pick another at random.
Hey!!!!
The iTunes original playlist is not set to shuffle. There are no other shuffle settings anywhere. Don't do this to me... please! Best of iPod ever my ass - it can't even not shuffle right!
I have reported this bug to Apple. Bug #5306255.
More iPhone Goodness by Thom McGrath
In case there wasn't enough on the internet about Apple's iPhone, here is some more.
As I said in my last entry, the device is fantastic. It automatically checks my e-mail every fifteen minutes, I've already used it to get directions, I'm typing two-handed pretty well - it's overall excellent. There are, of course, going to be things about the device that are less than perfect. Luckily, all of my complaints can be fixed via software. The hardware is so far, fabulous. This entry is not all complaints - just points.
