Listener Feedback:

Hi Ben,
Just got some feedback Re Episode 66 of TWAU Re iPhone 2.0 apps crashing.

In the Apple AppStore process they DO actually use the apps, check compliance, bugs, etc. However, it’s actually not the developers apps/code that is making the device unstable. As much as I hate to admit it, it is actually Apple’s fault. Their 2.0 software is EXTREMELY buggy, which causes these apps to crash & behave very weird. The iPhone/iPod Touch community is all hoping for 2.1 very soon!

Have a good one, talk soon.
