iPhone crashes and needs to be rebooted at demonstration
When I was checking out the iPhone at the southwestern San Francisco Apple Store on Sunday, the employee demonstrating the device had to shut it down and power it back on. As a hardened owner of the Palm Treo (aka "THE REBOOTERIZER"), I immediately noticed this and asked him, worriedly, "Hey, did you just have to reboot that thing?"
The employee told me that sometimes his phone (and apparently the display model as well) acts up in iPod or photos mode, and when it does so, he just reboots it. I deduced that this employee had only owned his iPhone for a maximum of three days. This means that, in three days, he had adjusted to a lifestyle of rebooting his hiptop device whenever it "acts up". We have an intransitive verb for this kind of behavior: "crash".
This reboot scare cancels the #1 reason I had been considering replacing my Treo 650 with the iPhone.
