iPhone's Dirty Little Secret
One of the bigger criticisms of the iPod has been the battery that is challenging to replace. Remember the iPod dirty little secret video? Pretty much every other mp3 player now has a removable and easily replaceable battery- most notably the SanDisk Sansa and the Microsoft Zune. I'm also seeing more and more digital cameras getting away from proprietary batteries and using standard AA's.
While I'm not holding my breath for any cell phone to run off of a standard battery, I'm dismayed to see history repeating itself. Steve Jobs and crew start with a blank sheet of paper and built the iPhone from the ground up. Why do we have the same problem with the battery. Do they really expect folks to send in their phones for a week of inconvenience and an $85 shakedown? Is this a way to keep someone from using the phone too long and mandating an upgrade? This is simply one more reason to stay away.
With that said, this will be my last iPhone post for a while. I'm ready to move on to something else, anything else.
