It’s a landmark device ... I’m confident that nearly all of the issues I have with iPhone 1.0 will get fixed, either with software, via Web apps, or in future iterations of the phone".

I think that the updates that are coming will change features based on feedback and for the better. Exciting app development - every day I'm seeing more and more!
