Yeah, when we get major updates to desktop software there is traditionally plenty of warning as you read about it magazines and get preview releases. Phones through don't seem to have the same culture, stuff just arrives, and there are so many apps from so many vendors that I suppose there's no simple way of maintaining awareness of everything that's changing. I certainly have no time or interest to read up on the ecosystem around my phone, after all, it's just a fancy tool and I expect it to work, consistently!
I was unfortunately wedged by the urgency of showing someone my pictures and taking photos and suddenly discovering the dramatic UI changes and didn't have time to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. And yes, I too am confounded with anger by the growing number of weird gestures, verbose notifications and hidden commands on phones. *Greg K*
