So I took a picture with the iPhone’s built in camera … nice enough. I can then use that picture as my wallpaper, assign it to contacts, or instantly email it to anyone or post it directly to Flickr. What surprised me was how when I then docked my iPhone it opened iPhoto and asked to import the picture. Worked like a charm. I like good surprises … it was always a pain to get pictures off my Treo and into my Mac quickly and easily. Now it seems this device is designed to really play nicely across Mac OSX.
Use
Webaccess Works
It was actually really easy to use the Blogs at PSU toolset from the iPhone. Typing is proving to be a little easier than I imagined as well! I am noticing that every time you leave the browser and return, you need to authenticate via webaccess — I guess that is a good thing for a lot of reasons, but what a pain.
I used the Safari browser to go to cal.psu.edu and my calendar looks great … I double tap the screen and I can see all the detail I need. I am worried that the lack of true calendar integration will be hard on me … using the web view is an option, but it feels way too slow and way too many clicks. I am going to work at the export to iCal and sync with the iPhone deal next. Getting data in and out of Oracle quickly and into iCal is my overall goal.
Posting from my iPhone
Typing is a little slow, but not too bad. I was able to just log into webaccess and make this post via the iPhone … Nothing short of amazing!
