Utter mayhem has been released with people’s bricked iPhones and server delays with mobileme. Despite those temporary delays, I’m still convinced apple has it in the bag and the fact that it’s juggling so much, merely shows it’s versatility.

With mobileme launching two days ago, the transition between old school .mac and mobileme, the iPhone 2.0 upgrade, the release of the app store, AND the new iPhone 3G released all within the same 48-72 time span?! Jeez, each of those huge projects (mobile me, .mac-mobileme, 2.0, and iPhone 3G, and app store) — 5 massive undertakings, I’m astonished things are running as “good” as they are! Seriously. Just one of those projects could (maybe should?) have been the focus of apple’s “integration” teams for atleast a month or quarter of year, but piling them all into the same 2-day span?!! I mean that’s a great marketing explosion, but it can also result in an infrastructure explosion with such change simultaneously. Anyway, Apple still has it in the bag.

Just think, the heap o’ troubles users experienced today was temporary, a fleeting removeable blip in the apple experience…just think, microsoft and non-apple os users experience todays mayhem ALL the time! haha!
Basically, I think apple will resolve the technical difficulties, and also they were kind of expected given how much they’re endeavoring. I still give htem props, though, as always.
