Engadget plays with iPhone 2.0
Exchange support works as smoothly as Scott and Mike had hoped, but there's still no two-pane Mail client. The multiple mail message selection works, however, and we finally found out why the Calculator button has changed -- apparently there are a ton of new features in there, including a sideways scientific calcalculator. There are a number of other fun features and improvements as well, although the main event, the App Store, only functions enough to give an error that it can't connect.
June can't come any faster, as far as we're concerned. Bring on the iPhone version 2.0!

Our lucky friends at Engadget somehow got to play with the iPhone 1.2/2.0 beta (no word on if they'll send it along to Erica anytime...

March 19 2008 at 10:29 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replydo the parental controls allow for some kind of configuring like passwords, porn filters, ect., or is it just a straight on/off switch that completely disables the program. if the latter's the case, that kind of sucks. i plan on getting an ipod touch, but if the parental controls are just on off switches, i looks like all mi getting is a glorified ipod.
