With this news I would expect to see Apple's bottom line staying flat or declining from this point onwards.

Ooops, winmacguy, is that plagiarism???

The Mobile Web Versus The Web On An iPhone: iPhone Wins In A Blowout
On June 29, 2007, Apple released the highly anticipated iPhone to the public. Forrester evaluated the iPhone's capabilities, and we believe that the iPhone signals the beginning of the end for the mobile Web as we know it today: Stripped-down sites crammed onto the small screens of devices meant for phoning, not browsing, will become a thing of the past. Companies looking to stay on top of this trend should get iPhones and experience their capabilities for themselves. Going forward, firms should continue to experiment with the mobile Web sites they own today in order to learn how to create content that is timely, location-aware, and actionable for users on the go.

The lawyer's credentials are wonderful. He acted for people who bought a book on Oprah Winfrey's recomendation :confused: , then complained because bits of it were made up. :eek:

Doubtless he will be rounding up the Harry Potter fans who are sad when they find that the books are not true. That case should bring in a some lovely fees.

I am not sure what the big deal is with replacing the battery on your phone though, I still have the same phone that i bought about 3 or 4 years ago with the same battery in it and it works fine.:confused: winmacguy (3367)

"Phone designed to whims of personality cult figure sees Jobs sinking under self-created pile of little jobs."

Over the top pricing, impractical keyboard, battery issues and other functional/design shortcomings will see sales taper off (even further) after the "just-gotta-have-it" Mac fanatics sate their lust for all things Jobby.

Very Clive Sinclair and/or Segway-ish.

Next Please.

Don't forget all the Windows corporate users who have bought them. :)

Aaah Billy... Clive Sinclair. Now there was a man of vision. Steve jobs could be a carbon copy as a gadget maker.

Ken

Quite possibly, he does after all figure out what people will be using and how to make it simple to use before anyone else. Is Clive Sinclair a vegan hippie that likes to meditate and who once took a pilgrimage to India in search of a guru?

575211 2007-08-02 09:07:00 It also alleges that users will have to pay that charge once every year, since the iPhone battery is rated for 300 recharging cycles.That article is incorrect, that battery is rated at 400 recharge cycles. It is unlikely you are going to fully discharge the battery everyday, so lets say you fully discharge it five days a week (which is still going to be more than most people will), that's 80 weeks, approximately a year and a half before the capacity will drop to 80% - which is still perfectly usable and probably will be for another year or so. Lower usage users will probably get more than three years out of the battery before it become unusable, at which time it will be time to buy a new phone anyway.

I don't know how many charge cycles a Nokia or Sony Ericsson normally gets out of a battery, perhaps kenj would care to post a link?
