So this is an entry completely unrelated to music whatsoever.

Basically, ever since the 11th, my iPhone 2G has been working HORRIBLY. Perhaps its my fault, I don’t know. All I know is that everything on the phone has been jacked up since then. It all started when I tried to update my firmware on the release dates, which was of course a huge mistake. But it all finally goes through and my phone is no longer a shiny brick.

So then I download apps. I only go for the free stuff because I simply can’t justify paying money for something like that. Now, there’s definitely some really great apps on there and some that I absolutely love, but hear my plight. Every time I put a new app on, at least one of my apps crashes and then either reboots my phone or just shuts it down outright! WTF?! I don’t understand why this just can’t simply work without crashing the OS?! I mean, it’s not like I’m overtaxing the phone, I’m just putting a new app on there! It should be able to do that.

Then there’s the annoying problem of the Backup. I plug my phone into iTunes to sync it and back it up and it never completes a backup! It’ll get maybe a quarter of the way through (which might I add already took a good twenty minutes!) and then disconnect itself from the computer! The best part is that after a lot of research on this problem, I’ve come to the conclusion that EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM and NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT!!!! Which leads me to this:

APPLE!!! IF EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ****ING PROBLEM, THEN EITHER DON’T RELEASE THE FIRMWARE OR FIX IT SO THAT IT DOESN’T HAPPEN ANYMORE!!!!

*calms down*
OK, I’m better… But seriously, there’s no excuse for this. And really, the apps are a great addition to the iPhone. Even better than that, they actually work! (Unlike some operating systems that are supposed to have apps that work *cough*I’mlookingatyouWindowsMobile*cough*)

So, iPhone users of the world, I ask of you, if you read this, tell me if you’ve been able to figure out a way around this because I’m flat out ready to go straight to Steve Jobs himself and throw the phone in his face and say “FIX IT!”.

That is all… I’ll write about music at a later date.

Peace,
Mike
