    They should have waited until 3.0 was actually released. Now Apple will just close the hole and they'll have to break it again.

    I can't believe Apple would release this private beta. It's slow, it crashes, I mean, they are, like, a huge company, or something, and they should, like, have stuff READY by now? Like, you know, when stuff comes out for the first time, it should, like, work with, ummmm, work like normal stuff does.


    It's just like totally unacceptamable for industries to keep.... placating us like this. Like we shouldn't take it anymore and junk. We should, you know, stop buying their junk and stuff cause they should totally be ready.

    @madog: are you crazy? A) This is private (aka not ready for prime-time) for a reason aka, not up to snuff. B) it is mainly supossed to be used by developers who are using the new API's for their applications, not for people who wanted to "try it out through bittorrent". C) "Like we shouldn't take it anymore and junk. We should, you know, stop buying their junk and stuff cause they should totally be ready." IT WAS PRIVATE, if you actually followed the terms of service, you shouldnt have had access in the first place. THERE WAS A REASON IT WAS PAY-FOR-ONLY. and believe me, all the dev's who paid the $99 for it are plenty happy to have access to the API's so they can write their apps (i for sure am)

    I was attempting to make fun of all the other jackasses who sincerely think as such in regards to this beta.

    Apple: It just works. Except in beta when it is a gigantic frigging mess, just like every other company.


    That said, people are downgrading from the production release of Vista to XP, so the Apple-hate really only goes so far. (Ignoring that Mobile Me stuff, of course.) Still, thanks Apple for making Redmond feel a little better about itself.

    @Monty: Also, Vista was a final product. For sale. And shipped on plenty of computers. 3.0 is in beta, and on lockdown theoretically only to developers. When Apple releases something that is as reviled as Vista, then you'll have a parallel. (Hint: the answer is MobileMe, but only in the summer of 08. It's fine now, but I suspect Vista will always be hated.)

    @KefkaticFanatic: When you install 3.0, you have to register the device as a developmental tool When restoring it, you are changing it back to a regular old phone. That's why the 10 steps. You're not just reformatting a drive.

    Yet another blow to apple. I can't say I'm surprised, though, as I've seen many unworkable betas... IE springs to mind.


    But to think iPhone OS 3.0 sucks this much? Apple should've spent more time polishing it up (at least somewhere close to the quality we saw in Win7 beta) before releasing it.

    Upgrading an iPhone is worse than re-installing Windows back in the late 90's. I remember I'd have to reinstall win 98 at least four times a year due me messing up the registry, getting viruses from warez sites, winnuke and other awesome things. Now the iPhone needs to be updated once every 6-12 weeks it seems. And then after that, you gotta sync your stuff, download new updates, jailbreak your phone and re install all your AppTapp programs. I almost wish I had my Motorola v60 again.

    Seriously, updating the iPhone isn't hard at all, and it certainly doesn't take that long. It's completely painless, even for the technically illiterate. And the advantage of updating is big. Since the launch we've seen major improvements in call quality, 3G reception, battery life, and all sorts of features and tweaks. Compare that to the old v60, which may have been a decent dumbphone out of the box, but never got a single bit better after that. I'll take the iPhone over the v60 any day.
