iPhone goodness

It was interesting to see the reports and complaints about the iPhone 2.0 upgrade yesterday. It always amazes me that people expect big upgrades to work flawlessly, at the very moment they're being released. Do they really think that Apple can predict the full server load of millions of simultaneous upgrades, or that's it worth Apple's investment to handle a peak load like this that will re-occur at most once a year?

I waited till later in the evening to try the upgrade and was expecting it to be slow or having to retry on a later day. It worked fine the first time I tried it and I've been playing with what is effectively a new phone all morning. Well done Apple.
