No iPhone 3G Activation Problems Reported In Idyllwild

Makes sense, really.

The nearest Apple store is 100 miles away. AT&T stores are requiring in-store activation that isn’t working this morning for the new iPhone. Meanwhile, our piney paradise remains tranquil and serene with just a hint of damp from last night’s rain showers. Not even a whisper of trouble or technical issues, though.

Now that’s something I can get excited about.

UPDATE: No reports of iPhone problems, but updating the iPod Touch to version 2.0 was a pain in the tush. For those of you who don’t care, there are reasons why you might. For one, Apple’s servers simply collapsed. I read a rumor yesterday that iPhone activation lived on the same servers as the update. Neat theory, but dotMac switched over to MobleMe at the same time. More servers down.

By the way, the killer app for iPhone and iPod Touch is Remote. You can use the thing to control iTunes on a Mac anywhere on your local network. Change albums! Change volume! Control remote speakers! It’s really worth the installation headaches. I love it.
