iPhone

I like my iPhone very much, but there is a tendency for the silent switch to get switched accidentally. It's quite vulknerable really. What it needs is a small latex plug to block the path of the switch. Or the switch siting in a less exposed position.

You are not the first person to mention that. The iPhone 4 does have a more robust switch when compared with the 3G and 3GS!

Now in addition to the iPhone we get iTunes of course. This has to be the most horrible bit of programming I've seen for a long time. Basically it just doesn't work properly. How can it tell me it's finished synching and then suddenly pop up a box saying it can't synch the phone? How can it half uninstall bewteen two uses and decide it needs to re-install? How can it double up all the tracks in the music library?

We muddle through with it, but it ain't pretty!

I am not a great fan of iTunes but I don't ever get any of those problems. I would double check to see that you don't have some other sort of problem. Try an uninstall and re-install to see if that sorts the problems out.

I suppose I could make out it was some sort of conspiracy theory to make you buy Mac but I don't think making it rubbish actually helps either microsoft or apple.
