Yes, there ARE Apps that print…. But they are not at System level. One has to cut and paste text into the Print App or one HAS to have a Computer. For those of us that are using an iPad as our first computer we require wireless printing from the iPad directly to a wireless printer…..
I agree that it’s sometimes annoying that features added later feel like they should have been there from the beginning (like cut and paste obviously), but when you look back over the progress of the iPhone and its OS, Apple have managed each upgrade carefully, managed the hardware development and design updates.
Yes, it’s taken something like 3 years to get here, but generally progress has been controlled all along and there have been no major problems (that I can recall – maybe we forgive Apple such things?!).
The only problem with any iPhone I have owned was when I went to Spain, just after the release of OS 3.0 and while I was installing an App it rebooted and got stuck on the Apple logo. I couldn’t restore the iPhone because I had no internet access so I couldn’t register it.
I didn’t have a phone for 6 days, but I thought “I’m on holiday, it’s not that big a deal” so I just waited. In those 6 days, Apple released 3.0.1 which fixed the problem so when I flew home I installed it and since then, I haven’t had a single problem.
I have to admit, I am never getting anything but an iPhone from now on, they really are the bees knees of mobile phones.
4.0 looks amazing too, I can’t wait to get my hands on it in the Summer!
