http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/... You guys might want to blog about this. Apparently the Apple servers got so smashed that the people who waited for the automatic updates got their 1st gen iPhones bricked upon updating. (Like me! but works now though) - Charles Ju

I could walk up (it's about 8 blocks) and hang out, but I think I'll just finish my glass of wine and head to sleep because I'm lazy. I know, I suck. :) Although my wife just said her co-worker went to bring donuts to people in the line. - Chris White
ha ha, well stop by tomorrow. i'll be here all night. we've got some of the VB team bringing coffee and donuts in the morning as well. - MG Siegler
Are you guys sleeping or staying up all night? - Chris White
up all night coffee/donuts will be here at 6 - MG Siegler
Well, I hope you're using the time effectively by writing code or something. :) - Chris White
yeah sure i am (or messing around with qik :) - MG Siegler

“Anyone with a favorite app so far?”
July 10 at 2:23 pm - Link
no, but only because I can't get the firmware to install on Windows : ( - Robert Seidman
really robert, even manual download and hold the shift key? - MG Siegler

MG, I did the manual download and held the shiftkey, itunes comes up, then nada : ( I suppose I could do it on the macbook, to install the firmware and then resynch w/Windows but that seemed like too much effort vs waiting! - Robert Seidman
d'oh. I feel SO stupid. I was holding down the shift key, but not when I was supposed to. Figured it out. Update in progress. shorted myself out of four extra hours by being a dope, but i suppose it could be worse! - Robert Seidman
glad it's working for you now robert - MG Siegler
I'm pretty sure my favorite app will be the Remote. But I have to wait until I get home to test it. I wish there were trial installs as I want to try out OmniFocus but don't want to shell out $20 and it turns out I don't like it. - Arlan Koizumi
@arlan - remote is great, but pandora is coming up quick! - MG Siegler
Just read that the firmware I installed is beta - I hope that's true in a way. some weird resets/crashes, and most annoying itunes wants to make a lengthy backup every time i sync. http://weblog.infoworld.com/en... - Robert Seidman
Oh yeah, I heard about that one. The only radio app I downloaded was AOL Radio. I'll give Pandora a try tonight! - Arlan Koizumi
