On August 1 2007, I published an article called "My Month with the iPhone" wherein I examined the iPhone's now well-known advantages and deficiencies and speculated extensively on where Apple was likely to take the phone, development-wise. Now that the new iPhone and the iPhone 2.0 software have been out for a few weeks, and there's been a whole new storm of praise and gripes raging, I thought it would be illuminating for me to re-visit my prognostications and take my lumps.

Well duh, that would be nice, wouldn't it? But this is the real world and I don't just sit in my bed all day cradling my Precious and growling at anyone who glances at it. It's a phone, not a crystal vase, and it's going to be dropped, kicked, sat on, etc. no matter how careful I am. I actually have a job, a social life and a family, and such things tend to involve using the phone as opposed to putting it on a pedestal and worshipping it.
In other words, it's a tool and a damn expensive one at that, and it should be able to stand up to regular use. It turns out I made a bad decision buying it, and now I'm looking for something less fragile and more sensible.
Is all that okay with you, mate?

The obvious solution is to *stop dropping your phone*.
