I thought they would go with Touch OS or something. iOS sounds a little lame.

Touch OS sounds porn related.

But it makes sense that Apple would just shorten the existing name, instead of adding a whole new word to it.

iOS as a name bothers me a bit. It’s like iDVD. It doesn’t look like a “lowercase i followed by name” kind of name, it just looks like Ios reverse-capitalised.
(Not that I’d know what Ios are—as far as I know, there was only ever one Io … unless perhaps you’d be referring to the person and the moon simultaneously, which would be a bit odd.)

eye-oh-ess, but for some reason I think it's fun to pronounce it eye-ohs.

That sounds like a cereal.

I wouldn't call it dead, since it's exactly the same product.

The name is dead. Le roi est mort, vive le roi and all that.

Consider it acknowledged and quietly passed over.

Mmmm... cheap Baconnaise-infused kerosine.
Which, by the way, is the source of iPhone 4's retina vision pixel thing.

Installed iOS 4.0 on my 3G. Feels slow. It's not from multitasking, because there is no multitasking with 4.0 on the 3G.
Another two reasons to upgrade to the iPhone 4 as soon as my contract allows.

I installed 4.0 on my 3G last night and it felt really slow for a few hours but I believe it had to do with the Mail thread function. I noticed that it was slowly chewing through my fairly large email accounts (upwards of 10,000 emails between a couple of accounts) and processing them into threads. When I picked it up again this morning it had suddenly gotten fairly snappy. In some ways, it's faster the 3.1.3 was for me - many apps, including Mail, now load noticeably faster then they ever did before (even after a fresh restore of 3.x.x). Some content does seem to load a bit slower, though, for whatever reason. Overall I'm quite happy with the current build, though without the additional features that have been held off of the 3G, it doesn't feel like a huge upgrade. I do like the folders a lot, though, and the unified Inbox and thread views in Mail are really nice to have finally.

As excited as I am for folders (jeezus, did I just type that) I already wish I could use custom icons for them. I have a feeling that I'm going to end up with a few pages of identical grid icons.

Music skips on my 3G when surfing the net. Painful.
Not sure if it's the file type though since some of my music is 256 Kbps MP3. (The rest of it is mostly 192 Kbps AAC.)
Since I'm accessing the net right now, I've since turned off the iPod part. Also, turning off the iPod seems to make surfing more smooth.

So, now that the discussion has extended from the name to the functionality, I’ll ask the question I wonder about with every release since 3.0:
Is there AVRCP support for Bluetooth headphones yet?

How do they keep adding all kinds of awesome features, but they leave out one that’s been available in dumbphones for at least 4 years and in OS X since Leopard? It’s not like copy/paste, where the wait-til-we-get-it-right argument makes sense. There’s not even any UI except in the headset.

i don't understand why Apple doesn't do it, the hardware is capable. My cheap LG featurephone does it. But whatever.

I'm just hoping that they have finally resolved all of the smart playlist bugs that plague the iOS. It's a little ridiculous that they have less smart playlist functionality then 5 year old iPods due to buggy broken software.

They pretty much redid the way that playlists work, I've not had any issues.
