There were two very subtle changes Apple made in the newest release of the iPhone operating system that
make a huge difference for me. The first: the unit now allows you to control the iPod volume while listening through
a bluetooth headset on BOTH the headset AND the iPhone unit itself. This is huge, because until today I've always had
trouble listening to music softly enough to still be able to pick up incidental speech, because the volumme control on
the wireless headset simply wouldn't bring the volume low enough. The second: when the iPhone would ring through the
same headset, the headset would simply beep to signal a call. Even though I have separate ringtones in place on the
iPhone itself to distinguish between callers, the ringtones would not play through the headset.... again, until today.
I know I couldn't expect too much from the 3G with respect to iOS 4, but I hafta tellya — these two tweaks make the
two hours I spent last night updating the phone completely worthwhile. And I just told Apple so.
