Yeah, I probably overstated my case - I think some people did find their situation rather improved. My wife's 3G never got any better, unfortunately :-/.

What really annoyed me with the situation was that they didn't release a good way (afaik) to downgrade your OS back if you didn't have a good backup. I expect that from a commodity manufacturer, but given Apple's premium reputation I tend to expect a quality response when they screw up.

That said, I still buy their stuff, so maybe that's why they don't care ;)
