In my admittedly sporadic testing over the past few days, I’ve not noticed much better battery life with the 2.1 update than before. Starting with a full battery, in a few hours of web/email usage under 3G I am down to 50% battery, and am easily able to get it to 20% with more usage throughout the day. I’m not impressed.
Adding insult to injury, two web applications that I wrote that feature the HTML "Meta Refresh" tag no longer work in Safari — but they did PRE-2.1.
<META HTTP-EQUIV=’Refresh’ CONTENT=’1 URL=/ ‘>
This tag should directed the browser to go to the page ("/" – the homepage, in this example) in the time specified (1, or 1 second in this example). This worked under 2.0 but does NOT under 2.1.
Anyone else seen anything noteworthy with their 2.1 upgrade?
