Chris Howard isn’t afraid to bash Apple when something is screwed up. But he’s also not above praising the company when something exceeds his expectations. Right now Chris Howard is very pleased with the iPhone. IF you’re wondering why it is a sordid tale of servers being overwhelmed, bandwidth caps and iTunes locking up. You can read the whole story at out sister site: Apple Matters. But a link isn’t enough, I mean the energy expended clicking a link… Too much to ask! Here’s an excerpt:

Now lazy programmers would have simply restored the last known OS, but Apple obviously weren’t lazy, and coded to detect the new OS waiting and used it. Well done, Apple.

Of course, there were no apps on my iPhone (besides the Apple ones), so I was still a bit nervous. But then a sync kicked off and it indicated it was installing my apps. I think at this point I stopped holding my breath.

Well it isn’t all sunshine and flowers. Chris, like the rest of the iPhone world is wondering where copy and paste is. Keep waiting Chris, we are all in line with you.
