On one hand, it seems that we're stuck in a bad version of the 2-year contract/upgrade cycle. On the other hand, we incremental upgraders do enjoy the advantage of the bug fixes and other enhancements of the incremental upgrade. 1.0 may be revolu…

store.apple.com is down, perhaps to add the white iPhone (or maybe a new iMac, if we're lucky!): "We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly."
