Another Apple bug? And I thought that the iMMac brigade always crowed about how good their software is alleged to be....

The alarm on my good old Nokia 6310i still works fine, it has almost a week's standby battery life, it has always been reliable and works well with the handsfree car kit.

I know that these iMMac gadgets are addicitve and seem to be aimed at yoof, but I'd sooner have a phone which is a phone, a camera which is a camera, a laptop which is a computer and a GPS which is a GPS. Pretty displays and kiddy games are an irrelevance to many - simplicity of use and good battery life are of much greater importance.

I'm reasonably gadget-savvy, but these iPhone and iPad things are really just pretty toys, to be brutally honest.
