The safari experience on the iPhone does seem to be a little more stable.  I’ve been using it this last hour to hop around a bunch of different websites and it hasn’t crashed once.  ‘Old safari’ would have crashed at least once during that time, so it does look like the experience has improved.

I was going to use safari to write this post but sadly I couldn’t click into the box where you type this text, one of those little nuances of using a mobile browser.  Handily I have this splendid little iPhone app that I can use instead.  Unfortunately it lacks spell checking and link management, so I’ll tidy up later.  That at least isn’t Apple’s fault!

Let me reiterate – I love my iPhone, and I love Apple too!

iPhone release 2.2.1 has arrived and with it promises of a more stable Safari experience. I for bloody one dearly hope that it’s true.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my iPhone for a million different reasons, and I’m happy to put up with all the shortcomings of no MMS, no 3rd party multi-task, no cut/paste etc, I just don’t care, but the way Safari has been recently has had me hopping mad (I don’t think I’ve ever used that phrase before).

Sadly I’ve been too busy at work today to make any informed judgement on whether this update delivers what it promises, I had to settle for just letting the update happen whilst I chuntered on with my work. Perhaps later I can put it to the test and report back to my millions of faithful readers how it went.
