Wait and See

From TUAW comes yet another reason for me to hold of on any Apple iProduct purchases:

Today, Apple released iTunes 7.4.2. Apple kindly fixed that small problem where people inadvertently installed custom ringtones on their systems. Thank you, Apple.

In related news, Apple momentarily blocked accidental Linux use. But then, as with the newt from Monty Python , Linux got better.

Apple also looks out for iPod Touch users. Its new firmware transfer scheme protects users from themselves. You won't accidentally install custom software on the iTouch or access the underlying OS, at least for some time to come.

Hey, waiting to buy an iPhone already saved me $200!
