I probably just need to do a software update. But I am guessing that one of the problems here is taking a web-type development model – basically, write something that works okay and fix the bugs later – and trying to apply it to a physical device. Google is a web-centric company, and that model works well on the web. But you want a phone to just work.

I don’t like Apple’s attempt to own the iPhone platform and I think ultimately it will fall either to competition or anti-trust law, but they do understand the need for device robustness there – lessons learned from the iPod, no doubt.
