Next update predicted is to far away…

I have been doing some reading online and it looks like the next update that should “fix all” issues that I complain about on a daily basis will be fixed in mid September. Supposedly Jobs has promised to have these issues fixed with this next update. I am not holding my break as I think these issues should have been fixed before 2.0 was ever released. Who cares if you have to push back a launch date. Look at Windows Vista, they bricked the whole first build and started over pushing launch way back and people still buy it.
Still the issues are here months into release. I can handle the text stutter and the many other little quirks that 2.0 has brought upon us but apps freezing and unable to open makes my life hard. I have to restore my phone all the time, removing data I would like to have on the phone so that I can do these podcasts. If it was not for my love of sharing these apps I would default my phone and go back to using web apps or maybe even jailbreak my phone. I was so close to going down to AT&T today and purchasing a second iPhone and activating it but that would introduce at least $60 a month into my life on top of everything else this podcast costs me. Maybe I should just reactivate my old iPhone on my current plan and activate my new iPhone on a plan where I can use it for the podcast only and restore it to default once a week so I don’t have to worry about the issues. Or… If the fix really does happen in the next 30 days maybe I will just go buy an iPhone, use it for 29 days and return it under the AT&T 30 day return policy. That sounds more like a good plan to me.
Anybody have any suggestions/thoughts or complaints they would like to add to the mix?

i heard the same thing from several sources, September at Apple’s gathering, there will be ipod/iphone update, along with a “VERY LONG WAITED” iTunes update 8.0. Glad that is comming, i hate the itunes interface for syncing iPhone, it wasn’t designed for the iPhone. Also Apple will be revamping ipod design, and lower prices, now that solid state storage is getting cheaper, along with LCD. Maybe Blu-Ray for MacBook Pro. Keeping fingers crossed.

I’ll pile on Apple here…ok we have a kick butt Swiss Knife of Technology–to include an awesome ipod–but cannot use any of our songs (or part of them) as a ring tone WITHOUT paying Apple .99??
I mean, WTF?
…and and hour to synch my iphone?
