Too much success?

Ken:

"They weren't prepared for the sheer
volume of sales, nor the demands that
would be put on their servers."

What do the servers themselves have to do with the excessive boot times for an iPhone? 15-20 minutes? 30 minutes? Up to two hours?

And:

"There were bugs that were in places where it hurts, a new platform for apps that went online at the same time, etc."

I can see bugs causing excessive boot times, but a new platform for apps (the AppStore) wouldn't cause that.

And:

"I believe we'll see the AppStore running
smoothly before too long, but it might
take Apple longer to approve new apps."

Equally as off-topic as the "server problems" issue. However, since Apple has absolute control over which apps are available in the AppStore, why is it that they (Apple) are stealthily removing already-approved apps from not only the AppStore but from their customers' iPhones? And, for those removed apps that have been paid for by the customer, is Apple offering to refund the money spent by those customers?

And:

"It might turn out that poorly written apps
or the server issue are the major cause of
current user problems."

I doubt that the apps themselves are causing problems. Nor is it likely that the servers are causing the boot time problems. However, buggy code in the OS updates (v2.0 and 2.01) are obviously quite suspect.

I suppose, due to excessive hubris on the part of Apple Inc., Apple products no longer "just work".
