If you are in the market for an iPhone, you may want to wait a little longer. There is no doubt this is one of the most innovative products delivered in a long time, but as with anything new, you can have issues. Apple Hound has compiled a list of about 70 current bugs/issues with the iPhone. They even documented how to reproduce the issues (This should save Apple some time). I’ve owned an iPhone since day one and have only come across a few of these issues. Some I didn’t even realize until I read the list. They are so minor, I don’t even care to notice them.

The point is, now that 500,000+ iPhones have been placed in users hands, I’m sure Apple is scrambling to address most of these bugs. In fact, they released press today to address the battery report issues (which I didn’t notice?). Should you wait buy an iPhone? My answer would be… Hell No!

If you’re upset about the bugs, price or the AT&T monopoly… Well, I guess you’ll have to pick up an iWipe and wait a little longer…

Introducing the first 3rd party application for the iPhone… Scenario Poker from Scenario Software. Now, the iPhone is not available until Friday at 6 pm and you most likely won’t be able to get one either.  If, by chance (and there are ways to increase your odds), you’re one of the lucky few to get an iPhone and you like poker, then this might be the first thing you load onto your shiny new iPhone.

RSS is a way of presenting the contents of news, news-like sites or blogs. Look out for the orange XML or RSS buttons on sites that are RSS compatible (ours is near the top right of the screen “subscribe”). RSS-aware programs (called news aggregators) check your list of RSS feeds and display new items from each. News aggregators usually run and display on your computer, but iFeedPod collects all the news from your feeds, and copies them to your iPod for you to read wherever you have the time.
