A few thoughts on iPhone 2.0

In no particular order:

• iPhone 2.0 upgrade was easy.
• The activation delay was pure silliness.
• Mobile Me services are finally up but how hard is it to implement a redirect from Mac.com --> Me.com?
• Why isn't me.com traffic available over https?
• Exchange ActiveSync works well.
• App store is nice.
• Apps in the app store are hit or miss.
• 3rd party apps have been unstable (some more than others).  Would be feasible to implement a try-before-you-buy option for paid programs (this would probably have to come from Apple at the SDK/app store integration level).
• Why can't I synchronize my data via wi-fi with my computer? Hell, even bluetooth would be nice.  I'm not talking about music synchronization, just calendar and contacts (not everyone has a me.com account).
• Accessing contacts is a little sluggish with Exchange ActiveSync.
• I probably won't get the 3G version until more reviews regarding battery life come in.
