The photo example sounds like something else is going on, like a missing dependency or it is trying to look up something on internet and timing out. Have you run a debug to see what is happening? A good story is when MS released HyperV, a VMWare reviewer gleefully pointed out that even though he installed it the day after it was released he had to download a bunch of Windows updates. Why? the HyperV activation process re-used an IE8 dll. There are lots of gotchas in modern environments. | |

Even in "airplane mode" -- no network whatsoever -- the iPhone 3G takes so long to display photos that sometimes the OS watchdog will kill the app before it can launch. All of these are examples of cases where the programmers knew exactly what hardware they were targeting when they wrote the code, and the iPhone especially since it's gotten worse with each update. | |
