Notes! Albeit synchronized via cable, not over the air, but I’ll take it. Now if they would just do something about getting Tasks from Exchange…
Cut & Paste! One of the bigger beefs I had with the iPhone was the lack of cut & paste, but no more. Like so many other things related to the iPhone, the operation isn’t quite as simple as you would hope – selecting text is interesting – but I am sure it is something most people will be able to adapt to.
Search! Search is now available from within the e-mail application along with a general search of the iPhone. SWEET! Still can’t change the sort order of e-mail but small steps are fine.
E-mail Folder Synchronization! With the old OS, the e-mail application only updated the Inbox automagically. With the new OS, you have the option of designating other folders that can be auto-updated, at least when the mailbox is an Exchange mailbox (this doesn’t seem to apply to the IMAP mailbox I access from the iPhone.). You have to do this through the Settings app, though – not in the Mail app itself.
