Having downloaded several of the apps onto my iPod Touch, which was duly upgraded after a fee of US $10 (AUD $12.99), the new operating system is definitely flaky in parts, causing some games to crash and even the device to reboot spontaneously on loading particular apps on occasion, it is but a 2.zero release.

Surely a 2.01 or 2.1 is due sometime soon to smooth out the initial, minor-ish bugs.

Until then more than a million new members have joined the cult of the iPhone, seemingly ready, willing and able to help Jobs fulfil the great 10 million iPhones in 2008 prophecy of Macworld 2007.

The second coming of the Jesus Phone has come at last, as has the second coming of its operating system.

Plenty of original iPhone customers came for a second helping of iPhone goodness in 3G form, and plenty of iPhone and iPod Touch customers had to come back to iTunes again and again to see if it was working yet.

But all worked out in the end. Steve Jobs looked upon his iWorld, saw his sales figures, and download numbers, saw that he’d weathered the triple witching storm of iEverything availability, and saw that things were very, very good indeed.
