So tomorrow is the big day for Apple. Rumors are everywhere about what’s coming – could be new iPods, could be a revamped iPod Touch, could be new MacBooks. Right now, your guess is as good as mine – but I’ll tell you one thing I’m almost holding my breath for – and that’s iPhone 2.1
Why? Because for the first time since picking up an iPhone – I actually wished I had a Treo today. At about 11am I decided to try out a new football tracking app from the iTunes store. For some reason part way through the install, my iPhone rebooted. Problem was – it never actually finished booting. Now matter how many times I did the power button / home button combo reset the phone would not boot up. It’s now 8:15pm MST. 9 HOURS LATER – and my iPhone is “restoring”.
Apple – a word to the wise – the iTunes required to hard reset / restore crap does not and will not work if you really expect people to rely on an iPhone as their primary device. My WinMo devices of old have spontaneously sharted just like my iPhone today, but I could always hard reset my WinMo device and at least have a useable system until I did a restore (usually from a backup on my SD card). So here I sit – waiting patiently for my iPhone to decide it wants to finish restoring … phoneless still after 9+ hours.
