"Even critics give Apple a pass on iPhone 3G woes" - Wired News
My iPhone ran out of battery for the 11th consecutive day today. I’ve had dropped 3G data connections ever since I updated the software to 2.0.2.

- Yesterday’s update to Desktop TD has ruined it as far as I can see. I’m playing Bloons instead. 50 levels of balloon popping puzzle fun.
