iPhone crashing bug could lead to serious exploit

As cool as it is the Iphone, the more I read about it the more I am disappointed by some of the features it offers. I was for example not aware that it could not execute multiple applications at once, or at least Apple did not allow for it. So far people are still waiting for a tethering option, which seem to be coming soon. And all those poor people that chose not to use AT&T as provider and got locked out by Apple's patch. And now a simple SMS can crash the whole device. I think Apple needs to adjust a bit here...this hype over the Iphones is only going to last as long as it is special....I only say Starbucks. After that it is just a phone that needs to be fixed ;-)
