iPhone OS 2.2
Posted in Life on November 26th, 2008 by Xin

iPhone OS 2.2 is a really big update, not only about features, but mostly about performance and stability.

From my real usage, Safari does crash less. Before 2.2, the most unstable web app is Google Reader, it can crash at any time, since I use Google Reader a lot on iPhone, what a pain it was. Now things are much better. And all components has dependency on WebKit also got enhancements, like UITableView, if you have some UIImageView inside UITableViewCell, you’ll find it scrolls much more smoother on 2.2! So, iPhone OS 2.2 is strongly recommended for everyone from newbies to developers.

On feature side, the new Emoji feature is particularly interesting, though it meant to be Japanese users only, but you can turn it on easily with some small helper program in Cydia installer. I really wish the cuteness be part of the whole world, not only Japan.
