As the iPhone begins to resemble and be used like a computer, we will have to contend with challenges like crashing and battery life.
Don't forget the viruses :) - Nir Ben Yona from twhirl
Already had that happening before,but yes, it's getting worse. I've become adept at whipping out a charger when I'm near power - Robyn Miller
excuses excuses - steve got a large "jobs juice" this morning - Allen Stern
I usually describe my iPod Touch as a pocket computer that can also play media. The iPhone is a pocket computer that can also be used as a phone. - Michael Connick
You serious about crashing iPhones??? - Roberto Bonini
@rbonini, I have had to do a hard reboot at least once every other day. It sometimes takes me a minute to even get it to respond to a power button hold, and then longer because I can't move the slider. - Robyn Miller
totally agree. Heres a test report on smartphone battery life under 'mobile internet' conditions. http://tinyurl.com/5mbr89 - Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Battery life is the major hurdle the mobile phones need to conquer. - Muthu Ramadoss
Do we need Intel to come in to picture for the processor at least with better performance and less power consumption. I think the processor has to scale up before these phones can smoothly support all the pc functions - Umesh Kakkad
I predict the next iPhone will have a multicore processor - Alan Cheslow
I been hearing the battery story for 5 years now! iPhone is nothing new, it is a PDA with Windows CE! Solve the battery problem and stop lying how many hour it will hold charge! You lucky if you can finish a DVD on a clean charge? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I cannot use the Camera or go into Photo album right now on iPhone - both crash every time. Starting a restore... - Sean Alexander
The current iPhone has multiple processors. It has 3 ARM chips in it. 3G may have the ARM multi-core chips. Not sure. The power draw isn't the processor, it is the network, screen and GPS. This is why it lasts longer when that stuff is off. - Kevin Goldsmith from twhirl
Yes, just do not watch movies, no surfing the net, and no GPS! Is this like 8 years ago? Voice and SMS? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I wouldn't put up with that - #1 priority is reliability - it's a phone first. What happens in an emergency and it's frozen? - David Andrzejewski
David: all my phones have crashed at some point or another. It's one reason why I carry three phones. - Robert Scoble
I don't use phones. I like that. the joys of being unemployed is I don't want it. - Noah David Simon
how about microcomputer rice cooker? can it crash while cooking? - Pajama Domain from twhirl
agree with Robert Scoble - my n95 crashes all the time, including while having phone conversation! - Pajama Domain from twhirl
I thought the iPhone ran BSD/OS X, not Windows Mobile - MiniMage - HLtW from NoiseRiver
The worst things about the iPhone are the charge time and the inability to search email by author - Seth Shapiro
my N95 never crashes - Ivan Pope from twhirl
