Update #1- I have been running safari on widget extensive websites for 2 hours now. So far it crashed twice. It is still impressive considering I have music running in the background. It crashed when I try to drag the pages down or zoom in on the webpage when the page was not done loading. It crashed on digg.com's add widget page when I was digging through some stories. It also crashed on the blogger sign-in page. By the way, this blogger update was done on the iPhone. Impressive, considering the iPhone browser used to crash when I try to enter text on blogger. Crashless safari seems closer to reality.
Update #2- After the 4th hour of intensive wireless internet use, the battery life suddenly went from 90% to under 10%. I will have to let it drain, then recharge fully to see if it is a one time fluke. Is Apple messing with the battery life indicator or did battery life really improve?
Update #3- Many people have reported Safari crashes. Some people had never had that problem before. Follow the link to resolve iPhone Safari crashing
