iOS4!

I updated my iPhone today to iOS4. My son was making fun of me for doing it as soon as it was released, but actually I think it was 45 minutes after it came out as I was in the middle of working on something when it first hit.

First impressions: folders are AWESOME. My four pages of apps are now reduced to two. I can't wait till I can do this on my iPad as well! It is so easy to create, edit, modify the folder, also very easy to use an app inside a folder. Very well done.  And now I can actually find the app I'm looking for.

Not sure yet about multitasking because I'm not sure how many of my apps are actually making good use of it now; but I certainly see the potential there.

Photo albums now have a map showing you where photos were taken, and since geotagging has been around since I got my 3GS, many of the photos in my album are displayed on the map.

I'm also a fan of the combined email inbox, much nicer than having to constantly go back and forth between work and home accounts.  I wish there was a color coding of the different accounts though.

The upgrade process was very smooth and relatively quick, especially as I was working at the time and just letting it do its thing.  My only problem was that it lost the password on one of my two email accounts, a trivial thing to fix.
