Here’s a desktop picture I whipped up last week during a conference we held at our church. Instead of posting a bunch of different resolutions, I thought I’d just make the source available too. Enjoy!

Shawn Blanc: After One Week With an iPhone.
Now, after a little over a week of iPhone usage I would like to say that my life really has changed. I have always said I just want a phone that makes calls and does TXT, but after having access to my Calendar, my email, my music, the Web and beyond. I am shocked at how much fun it is to be productive and not always stuck in my office. ✓
Maybe my experience is unique, but since “upgrading” to version 1.1.1 of the iPhone software, my device is barely usable. The iPod, Safari and Mail apps crash almost every time I use them, and many long-standing bugs and quirks still remain (an example). As far as I’m concerned, 1.1.1 is a disaster, and not worth the iTunes Store.
Update: After realizing my case was, in fact, unique, I followed suggestions to restore the iPhone. So far, so good. After 3 hours of use, none of the apps have crashed on me yet.
Update 2: While on vacation I’ve been using my iPhone very heavily, and since the restore it’s been more stable than ever. I guess 1.1.1 isn’t such a disaster after all. ✓
