Apple are losing it...

I've had a Mac Book for some time and have almost stopped using it. I've come to find Windows 7 just easier to use, especially when dealing with a lot of file operations. OSX has always had, and still has, all kinds of annoying bugs and one that gets me often is it's habit of barfing over a single file in a large copy or move operation then ditching the entire process. Have to drop to a terminal prompt! Safari is simply a dog in most respects and iTunes is a terrible piece of software IMHO.

Then Mrs T got an iPhone. Seems to be riddled with bugs also (it's a 3G 2.2 firmware). In three days of usage:
  • The email inbox has screwed up showing just a black screen with none of the buttons operational - needs a soft reset
  • The SIM contact import simply doesn't work - it says "importing" for about 2 seconds then stops with no message or feedback and no contacts copied from the SIM
  • Auto-redirect on web pages doesn't work at all
  • Safari has crashed several times
  • On O2, have had to switch to Edge and back to 3G once to get HSPDA
My next phone will probably be HTC running Android and I won't be hurrying to spend a lot of pennies on another Mac PC....
