Now you have me worried Apple. First of all why in the world did you completely screw up the invite process? My first sync was a complete nightmare as I had 23 invitations that I previously accepted that now said maybe? I noticed if I re-accepted this invite it would then duplicate on my iPhone? Also what about when you receive an invite you have to click on another <a href="http://mobilitytoday.com/news/008688/apple_exchange_bug_iphone#"><span style="text-decoration: underline ; color: #006500;">location</span></a> to accept the appt? Whew... This is a complete mess!!! Also how about giving us the opportunity to see other people's calendar to see if they are busy at a certain time when you schedule an appointment? Steve... fix this please asap!</div></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3835643003682329037-3716427040368494979?l=killmecoppola.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835643003682329037.post-19543634462061247272008-07-11T22:35:00.000-07:002008-07-12T10:25:44.312-07:00In no particular order:<br /><br /><ul><li>iPhone 2.0 upgrade was easy.</li><li>The activation delay was pure silliness.</li><li>Mobile Me services are finally up but how hard is it to implement a redirect from Mac.com --> Me.com?</li><li>Why isn't me.com traffic available over https?</li><li>Exchange ActiveSync works well.</li><li>App store is nice.</li><li>Apps in the app store are hit or miss.</li><li>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).</li><li>Why can't I synchronize my data via wi-fi with my computer?
