I recently joined the iPhone community with the expiration of mobile contracts.\u00a0 I am extremely<\/span><\/span> happy with my new hand-held computer!<\/p>\n

I have 1 major problem and two real irritations.\u00a0 First Bluetooth, I have a BlueAnt X5i<\/a> that works better with my iPhone than my MacBook [13″ Black Late 2007].\u00a0 I have discovered that my iPhone has a bit of a problem.\u00a0 If I let the headset die while connected to the phone I lose all sound. \u00a0I turned the Bluetooth off and back on then off again, but that didn’t work.\u00a0 I had to power-cycle the device [No, I didn’t try a soft reset which might have worked].\u00a0 I had to run the battery down before I got the audio back.\u00a0 It was really annoying.<\/p>\n

Second, I was using my headset to listen to music in the office and turned off the Bluetooth [on the phone] before turning off the headset.\u00a0 I lost all audio again, I was frustrated; but then reconnected them and I was able to listen to the audio through the X5i<\/a>.\u00a0 I then turned it off and then turned off the Bluetooth [on the phone].\u00a0 My audio returned.<\/p>\n

Sheesh, can’t they just release the audio channel when Bluetooth is turned off???<\/p>\n

Okay, this relates to both iTunes and the iPhone.\u00a0 Why does the software not remember my Account Password?!?!?\u00a0 I don’t understand what is wrong or not working in iTunes or the iPhone App [Store]?\u00a0 Why does the software not save the password even when the check box is selected in iTunes and why does the iPhone App [Store] or iTunes App.\u00a0 This seems pretty simple to me, it is MY phone and MY account, if content is downloaded it is going to be . . . where . . . on my iPhone!!!\u00a0 I tried several tricks from The MacCast<\/a> and still iTunes doesn’t save my password for downloading new Apps or Digital content.<\/p>\n

I realize that Apple & Mr. Jobs have their way of doing things; however, this doesn’t meet the simplicity rule that Apple likes to apply to almost everything else they do.\u00a0 I really like the simplicity model that is used in many things; yet, this seems like something that would make sense.\u00a0 Make it a feature and allow users to turn it off and on, so I can decide if I want to save the password or not.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah and don’t forget to make a check box area for Audiobooks<\/a> so that I can decide what Audiobooks<\/a> I put on my iPhone or iPod!!!\u00a0 Seriously, I have a dozen Audiobooks<\/a> on my phone & I know that I can delete them from iTunes; but I would rather just control them like other media on my devices.<\/p>\n

No, I still love my iPhone and am happy with it . . . let’s keep it simple Apple!!!<\/p>\n

This rant is now over.<\/p>\n
