In all the 3G hype, I never heard that the iPhone App Store went live yesterday.
UPDATE: The software upgrade bricked my phone. Brilliant, guys.
UPDATE: Called tech support. According to the tech guy, iTunes starts applying the update before it downloads everything it needs. Then, due to the unexpectedly (?!) high volume of upgrades, their server crashed, leaving my phone partially updated and unusable.
Lesson 1: For heaven’s sake, don’t write to the firmware until you have everything you need. I would have thought this was obvious.
Lesson 2: When you release the App Store on Thursday and the 3G on Friday, plan ahead for your servers to get a lot of work.
UPDATE: I see everyone is having this problem.
UPDATE: Fixed now.
