Dudes, don’t get me wrong: I love my iPhone. But this thing’s definitely got a few signs of version-one-point-oh-itis. Exhibit A: Every time I (and apparently lots of others) try to use the phone’s iPod program while browsing the Web, the iPod crashes. On the iPhone crashing simply means that the music stops. You’ve got to then finger click your way back to iPod to re-start the music…until it happens again about a minute later. Kinda takes the fun out of showing off your new gadget to all the (ok, both) Zune owners you know.
One poster to the Apple discussion forums advised powering the phone on and off (hold down the Sleep/Wake switch on the top of the phone for three seconds). I tried this to no avail. The prevailing opinion out there in Fix It Land seems to be that this bug will only (hopefully?) be fixed upon the release of Apple’s first iPhone software update. Let’s hope that comes soon.
I’ll be the first to admit: my experience with first generation Apple products is they tend to be buggy.
