- SoundScape, on 08/28/2008, -3/+44Is the headline supposed to make us gasp?
- jobobshishkabob, on 08/28/2008, -15/+44Wow if I see another post that says bad reception or battery life on the iPhone, I'm going to shoot someone. The battery life is not fantastic, but it is comparable to other 3G devices. Maybe people have not noticed it before because the data usage on the iPhone is (generally, for the normal user) greater than other phones. 3G reception is AT&T's fault. Studies have confirmed that. Compared to the last two 3G phones I owned (Blackjack and Motorola Q), the iPhone's reception is far better.
- alphaone, on 08/28/2008, -2/+25Ever hear of google maps or google earth?
- sharkd, on 08/28/2008, -22/+41Inaccurate. The 3G reception "problems" are imaginary and/or network-, not hardware-related.

- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -9/+26surprise! no company is perfect!
this is news how? - airj1012, on 08/28/2008, -2/+14Ok, this is old news. All these repeats of news is...frankly getting old.
- alphaone, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11I get great battery life overall, partially because of HOW I use the phone. The easiest ways to boost your battery life are:
- use wifi if available, turning 3G off
- turn off gps, 3g, wifi when not in use
- set screen lock to 1 min
- turn brightness way down since it's still very clear
My actual issues with the iphone are rather annoying, to me at least:
- Safari crashes randomly
- Mail sometimes takes far longer than it should to sync imap accts (when internet connection is already verified using Safari)
- Some 'apps' take a while to render: clock (alarm) and settings being the most annoying
Anyone else feel the same way about these articles and lack of articles? - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+12after reading your comment history, i have blocked you for the following reason: excessive stupidity.
go back to youtube. - RSAgent007, on 08/28/2008, -2/+12You realize that within the past year, OS X had more security bugs than both XP and Vista combined?
Average flaws per month:
Windows XP: 2.83
Windows Vista: 1.67
Mac OS X: 20.25

- Rikkochet, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9I'll just block him based on your assessment. I trust you.
- btschul, on 08/28/2008, -4/+11edstate: You mentioned spaces twice and there isn't even a problem with it. And when the inability to set pictures from a certain app is your biggest bug, you are doing pretty well. I will give you the part about iMovie, however. Luckily, there is a free version of iMovie HD (v 6) available on the Apple website.
- DeathJux, on 08/28/2008, -10/+17You mean Apple can't get everything right the first time?!?? Surely you jest!
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -9/+15I never had an issue with os9??? i still think its a good os
- Tenoq, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6I'd agree. TBH, I reckon the iPhone has the best battery life of any large-screen smartphone I've ever seen or used. Coupled with the fact it also makes it far easier to use data - the battery life 'problems' are complete fallacy. And reception issues? Bollocks. Better than any other phone I've owned. :p
- 12340987, on 08/28/2008, -1/+7some people seem unaware
- GregR, on 08/28/2008, -2/+7Why are you getting dugg down for stating facts that have been validated by a number of teams?
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5OS 9 was a crashfest. Sorry guys, but I've been using Macs since System 6.04 and outside of 7.5, OS 9 gave me more problems than anything else in a variety of programs. It was very frustrating to be editing video with Strata's VideoShop, be almost done and then have the OS die and the screen lock. Hours of encoding wasted. I'm much happier with OS X
- cthellis, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5"Spaces doesn't work (like I want it to)."
It works fine. It just could be better.
iMovie isn't really a "downgrade" but a "sidegrade" and a bit of a separation from FCP. On the whole, it works a bit better for amateurs, which is who the iLife tools are supposed to be aimed at. - mrsteveman1, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5So the OS doesn't crash or panic but Firefox locks up?
- Soundengine, on 08/28/2008, -2/+7None of this is really unusual. New products always have flaws. A company's ability to scramble and fix the flaws is what really counts.
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5While the Cube really was design genius, NOTHING could save the Apple III and we should all be thankful. Any device that has part of it's troubleshooting include "Lift it about three inches and let it drop" to reseat chips doesn't deserve to live.
- JEWestbrookJR, on 08/27/2008, -7/+12Really?
Leopard hasn't had major bug issues since the beginning of the year. I use it every day on 3 different machines and since the first leopard update none of them have crashed on me and have only needed reset for updates.
and what is the iLife '08 debacle you speak of? No problems here... - FreddieD, on 08/28/2008, -1/+6And the Google Web Toolkit has been nothing short of awesome for writing AJAX heavy web pages. You write the code in regular Java, and the toolkit converts it into cross-browser compatible Javascript.
- LMN8R, on 08/28/2008, -10/+15Amazing what happens when you expose "stable" products to the wider world. The fact that they can't get their software and hardware stable when everything is completely closed off - yes, iPhones with no 3rd party applications installed included - is quite sad.
People give Microsoft ***** for unstable software and operating systems, but Vista, while not so great upon release, is now a fantastically stable operating system that supports countless devices, infinitely more combinations of hardware than Apple could ever be scared ***** to support. - p51d007, on 08/28/2008, -5/+10But the Apple fan boys don't live that way. Their noses are so far up Steve (blow) Jobs that their noses is permanently brown.
- judicar, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4You could probably sell it to Eminem
- tobikow, on 08/28/2008, -4/+8Nobody gives a *****. apple fans will keep buying apple ***** even when it sucks, and end everyone else will bitch about it.
- bjornski, on 08/28/2008, -1/+5My $20 pay-by-the-minute phone.
I use about $10 a month in time. - rumblefish25, on 08/28/2008, -1/+5I agree.. it's all about usage.. in the 5 days i owned the iphone.. i have more data traffic than in 2 previous mths.. so battery life is all relative.
- supermanred, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4Come to Toronto for a few weeks. Our 3G network is better.
It's not the phone, dude. Blackberrys have the same problem. - antdude, on 08/28/2008, -3/+7Even before those, Apple failed with their old products.
- wevegotthejazz, on 08/28/2008, -1/+5my balls itch
- phoomp, on 08/28/2008, -2/+6You mean, if, like Apple, all companies could *convince* us they were so good, we'd be singing.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -3/+6it may suck compared to what we have now, but it was good compared to everything else back in the day…
even with all the unexpected quitting, crashing, and freezing…
i still have nightmares about that dialogue with the bomb on it… - supermanred, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3Right on.
- robogobo, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4minus the verb and noun, plus an adjective I guess. You really have it figured out.
- hayden.evans, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4No company ever produces a PERFECT product. end of story, period.
- jakbrud, on 08/28/2008, -9/+12No one is perfect. Apple is no exception. Its called reality my friends.
- LMN8R, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4Yeah, like USB hardware is so hard to support. Perhaps you're forgetting about the tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of PCI-based hardware? TV tuners, sound cards, video cards, SATA cards, and countless other devices.
USB devices are easy to support, it's the nature of the freaking connection. Get back to me when Apple starts supporting the difficult stuff. - antdude, on 08/28/2008, -2/+5iPhone 3G isn't the first time. Second iPhone product release.
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3@LMN8R
Are you serious? No matter WHAT kind of connection, devices more complicated that say mice or keyboards still need drivers. There are plenty of USB devices that don't work with OS X because the makers won't create drivers. - r3zonance, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3Motorola StarTAC?
- hongkongjapie, on 08/28/2008, -4/+7see that you're dug down for providing info, guess digg should be renamed sunday times or so, people read it for sensational stories, not facts.
- mphree, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3e2superman: Best comment in this whole damn thread.
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4sigh...as compared to fan boys of any stripe? They're all bad. Ignore the worst ones and just move on
- hungryduck, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4Google Reader is amazing. It lets me access my RSS feeds from any computer.
