I have gone a little crazy buying apps for my iPhone. They worked fine when I got them, but then they stopped working a few days later.
I did a 'restore' from iTunes, and downloaded again the apps from the App store, and that was OK for a while. Now they've stopped working again.
I touch the relevant app to start it, the screen goes black, and then the home screen reappears.
Is this a common problem? Any ideas?

There are complaints about the apps and the 2.0 firmware all over the net. Back off and wait awhile. If you can, go back to 1.1.4.

OK understood. I think Apple need to work on some damage limitation, because between the MobileMe mess, the iPhone 2.0 mess and the iPhone activation mess, there is a lot of bad publicity going around.

When that happens I usually restart the phone and everything works as expected.
It does happen way more often than with 1.1.4 but I guess the 2.0.1 update is closer than we think.

I think we have a right to bash Apple on this matter. There is no QC being done on these apps that are being released through the Apps store. Hell, I don't think Apple is even QCing there own software. I have two apps made by Apple that crash. This is 100% Apples responsibility.

Its not the apps' fault in this case. This is 100% an iPhone OS issue. This even can happen with an app that never writes any settings or data. That means that app always launches fresh - and if it can happen on an app that launches fresh, that means something in the OS itself is messing up.
But I'm sure you'll see this in an update very shortly
