Beginning September 7, Best Buy will be selling the iPhone, the first retailer beyond Apple and AT&T in the United States. Can 7-11 be far behind?? Rejoice!
It should help boost sales considerably.

In an interview with Nick Wingfield appearing in the Wall Street Journal, Steve Job says Apple would be “Irresponsible” not to have a kill switch to stop malicious apps that may make it onto your phone through the app store. (Wasn’t that what the whole vetting process was for??)
Also, he throws some app sales numbers around. They look good. $30 million in the first month, spent on apps (so about $10 million earned by Apple).
Enjoy the reading; it’s an interesting article.
All Apple says this update contains is “bug fixes.” Which we need for sure. Let’s hope this helps out with the crashes we’re seeing.
I’m downloading the 249 MB update right now, I’ll report back here whether I see any changes or not.
Be sure to do a phone backup before you upgrade. And if you’re running a 1st Gen iPhone that’s been jailbroken and unlocked, do NOT install this update before the Dev team gives its okay.
EDIT: Playing around with the updated phone for a few minutes… it feels much more responsive and smooth. No apps have crashed, yet (I’ve tried hopping in and out of around 10). The typing in Safari still seems sluggish. Especially when initally starting up. That’s about it. Haven’t noticed any other differences, either in menu items or functionality. Verdict: Install this update. As soon as you can. With the above caveats.
