XMarks has a Bookmark sync for Safari now. Its Free. I have found some problems with it since Safari 5 but I am sure some fixes are coming.

To be honest this whole iPhone 4 hype has been blown out the water by apple. I mean its a good marketing strategy but theres no need to tell lies.

Remember when Jobs said that the new glass casing actually makes it stronger? Thats not true.

Check out http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/ and read the latest 3 articles. They all focus on the lies (or at least over hyped features. Dont you want to know the facts before you spend your hard earned money?

Also, is anyone having trouble right-clicking inside the Safari browser window? I can't seem to get a single contextual menu to show up, which is making Safari practically unusable. I'd post this on the Apple support forums, but their forum registration system seems to be broken and I can't log in to post.

I'm finding the new address bar auto-complete to be a bit of a mess. In theory it's great, but the problem is that suggestions based on partial URLs assembled from disparate substrings are taking priority on the list over actual URLs that you are punching in from the beginning (if I'm making my meaning clear). It's also causing problems for keyword search. I've reenabled Keywurl by editing the Info.plist file in the plug-in bundle, and other essential plug-ins like GlimmerBlocker and ClickToFlash are working as well as ever, but the new auto-complete is overriding keyword-based searches like "g " (if I want to search for something on Google, for instance).

This is one browser feature that is absolutely a deal-breaker for me if it doesn't work the way I want it to, because I'm so accustomed to using my address bar as a prompt for keyword searches. If there isn't a workaround soon, I may have to retreat to Firefox for the time being. And I'd rather not, because the new Reader feature is very, very pretty.

So far I am impressed with Safari 5. The updates to the browser, however, are not enough to make me switch back from Google Chrome. A quick speed comparison between the two leaves no "humanly noticeable" difference in loading. I do really like the Reader function as it is very similar in functionality to an AdBlock extension and lets you read just the content.. The real kicker for me is Chrome's auto-translate feature. As a graduate student in Physics, this feature is an absolute must, since it will automatically translate a variety of different languages into English. I will have to see what extensions become available for Safari in the future though.

If only there were some venue where Apple could have told the developer community about Safari 5's ability to accept extensions written by 3rd parties in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript so they wouldn't have had to rely on an email press release.

Oh, wait...

Am I the only one who can't find the enable develop menu in the preference panel?
