If somebody could email you an MP3 with DRM protection
Yawn.
iTunes went DRM-free in January 2009 with DRM fully phased out by spring.
As a phone, the Iphone is poor. I happen to think that a phone should work like a phone, with a decent reception, etc. It also has weird bugs ....
Nonsense. All "smartphones" are vulnerable to "bugs and weird issues". The Blackberry 9900, for example, is ghastly, truly horrendous both in terms of software and its radio implementation .... its the nature of software that the occasional bug exists, and Apple have a lot fewer than many others I could care to mention, plus they do work hard to fix them.
For data, the wifi implementation is problematic
Haven't had much of a WiFi issue myself. And anyway, what do you expect ? For them to test their stuff with every single device on the planet ? They have to draw a line somewhere in terms of QA and then fix bugs as they come up with the others.
However its "sync" is horrible and it's easy to wipe out stuff by mistake.
Don't know how you managed that, I've never had an issue.
Anyway peterh337, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on your point of view. I still don't feel you are looking at things in a rational and unbiased manner.
