Just FYI: since the recent release of Loren Brichter's Letterpress app (wild success), the iOS cognoscenti on Twitter have been doing nothing but bashing Game Center from all directions--performance, reliability, etc.--, including Gruber.


Yeah but it seems more like they are bemused by it thank actually seeing it as something to criticize Apple for.

Plus there's the standard "Apple doesn't do web services well" thing that seems to excuse a lot.


I agree with you but "Apple doesn't do web services well" should NOT be an excuse anymore.

When they're using and promoting iCloud and Siri as much as they do, they're in the 'web services' game.
