As in software bugs, the type that cause the occasional freeze, crash or system reboot of the still-awesome gadget I shelled out $600 for about a year ago. Every once in a while, when I try to fire up a program, it fails to launch. Others sometimes flicker out unexpectedly and return the iPhone to its home screen.
Sigh.
While the long lines of folks queued up to buy the new iPhone 3G in past weeks got most of the attention, for many iPhone and iPod fans, the more significant development was the opening of Apple’s new App Store, which makes downloading and installing applications as easy as downloading a song off iTunes. Some of the more than 800 software programs available so far are free, and some aren’t. Some are useful, and some are just for fun. Most programs don’t seem to have problems, though I’m getting used to the occasional software blooper now that I’ve loaded my gadget up with a couple dozen or so of the things.
