The Black Screen of Death

Most people have heard about the Blue Screen of Death or BSOD … most Windows users have seen it once or more during their times using the operating system. Well, apparently the iPhone has been experiencing a Black Screen of Death that has some users asking for ROM version 1.10.

Being a PC person, I’ve encountered the dreaded “blue screen of death.” I’ve never seen a comparable thing on Apple products (I’ve heard of the sad Mac face, or the sick iPod face). So, much to my surprise, starting a couple days ago I noticed what appeared to be a “black screen of death.” Everything stops working. The time bar at top is there, but the rest of the screen is black. No touching. No prodding of the home key. No pressing of the upper right key will get the thing working again. Source: News.com

We Say: Finally Microsoft can look forward to BSOD meaning something different for a change.
