Be Bold!

I cannot be the only person appalled at the fact that Apple cannot get their shit together! I mean, I like to think that they're a fairly popular company. With their release of the jesusPhone, err, the iPhone 3G today, they still had problems. With both their iPhone activation in stores [which they had promised customers would go smoothly and quickly] and their iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware released. You'd have thunk that the planning and hype would live up. It is Apple after all. I have heard from numerous sources that people were turned away at stores. Stores that these people had lined up infront of. Even in Canada! The ridiculously high prices of Rogers didn't stop the hardcore fanatics from lining up for the 3G, only to be turned away due to the fact that the phone bricked! WTF! The iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware released. It would make sense that it would come out the same day as the iPhone, so iPod Touch users can experience the Apps store at the same time at the iPhone users. Nope. Not only did it not release at midnight [when I think it should have been], it only let me through to download [and not take me back to the iTunes store homepage] at 10:00pm on June 11th. Really? 10 o'clock at night? An on top of that, this $9.99 upgrade includes those updates back in January that I paid THIRTY FRICKIN DOLLARS FOR! And now it's being conveniently bundled into a ten dollar package along with a whole slew of other stuff. I guess good stuff comes to those who wait, and not those who jump right into it. This makes me want to wait for a while before buying this update. Maybe in seven months they'll be giving it away for free? Unacceptable if you ask me. But you didn't. And this is just a rant.
