“The professional critics have offered their iPhone opinions, giving Apple’s new cellphone mostly a thumbs up,” Jim Hopkins reports for USA Today.
“Now it’s time for thousands of consumers to weigh in after they bought iPhones this weekend. The gadget went on sale starting Friday night at nearly 2,000 Apple and AT&T stores after six months of anticipation,” Hopkins reports.
“USA Today heard from more than 350 people who said they bought an iPhone. Based on their first weekend’s experience, virtually all of them said they’d do it again,” Hopkins reports.

I have had problems with MDN loading slowly and or stalling…
My iPhone cannot dispay the RSS feed from this site either. Only the regular site. Grrrrrr.
I don’t like page 1, page 2 rubbish – I’d prefer to scroll down until I get bored reading the comments, loading a second page of comments – complete with a repeat header is a pain the the b*m

KenC, give up your “clever” little FUD campaign and go back to Engadget with the rest of the Microdouches.>>
Uhm, what are you talking about? I’ve been posting here for years. I’ve never posted at Engadget unless someone else uses my same screenname, and I’ve been using Macs since 1986. So, what’s your problem?
@iMat
Arrogance combined with ignorance is no way to go through life. Please pass that along to your “friends” in Europe.

@iMat that’s exactly why here in France they were reporting it on all news fronts “Le iPhone” launch & also it’s
success, over all design & tech.
Can’t wait untill it hit’s here!
I can stream music from my website using my iphone just fine. Loads up in quicktime. SWEET, Never need to sync my music now.
check out the iPhone ‘vote’ on BBC tech pages, at the moment it’s all skewed to ‘No’. But a few tens of thousand US iPhone users will push it the other way. Do It Now. Thanks guys.

Yeah, great idea, make all the pages larger/longer so the site WILL be slower, bright idea there.
MW = decided
Just decided that you whiners are just f’n idiots.
Oh and the site is NOT slow for me, so get a better ISP.

I bought a Motorola 18 months ago, I’ll never buy one again, it sucks.
KenC, why don’t you reread this sentence of yours, take a deep breath then see if there is anything odd about its wording and structure. If you see nothing wrong, we will understand the rest of your commentaries on MDN.

Trying to figure out why KenC is being dogged. I think he simply stated that the MDN format works great on his iPhone.
@ Dude
> For the past few weeks, MDN sometimes takes for EVER to fully resolve. I mean a long, L-O-N-G-G-G-G-G-G time. What’s up with that? Anybody else?
I think it was heavy traffic from people wanting the latest iPhone news. I noticed it was worse during the day. Late at night, it wasn’t a problem. Now that the iPhone launch is over, it probably won’t be an issue again, at least until the Leopard release…

Dude,
I’m drawing a blank. What did I just write above, beyond the redundancy error, that indicates I’m an astroturfer from Microsoft?
Oh, I looked at my very first post. I was ANSWERING Figurative’s question on how MDN’s page format looked on an iPhone, and I answered it looks fine, and it does.
I can only think, you are being snarky, and that you consider my answer to be sarcasm, as MDN’s page format is generally considered lousy; however, it actually looks fine, because you can unpinch the window enough and recenter, so you don’t see either side of the window with all the ads. You just see the text in the center column, and I find it very readable. Is that it?
