Following my post of yesterday concerning all the Apple "Loonies" standing in line for days to be the first on the block with an iPhone, I was amused to read in today's New York Times that apart from the AT&T network you are forced to use being very, very slow, the "Jesus Phone," as it is now known, does not have a replaceable battery. Remember all the fuss when the first iPod came out and because you couldn't replace the battery, if it went kaput... You had to shell out for a new iPod. Apple is claiming that the iPhone can be re-charged up to 300 or 400 times, then when it finally dies... You have to send it back to Apple for them to fit a replacement... For a fee! They don't say how long it will take, or how much it will cost, but what it means is that you will be sans iPhone for several days. Considering most of the people I know with cell phones would rather have a leg amputated than be without their precious phone for a few days, it all sounds a bit dodgy to me. Until you figure out that it's all part of Steve's evil plan to merely have people chuck their dead battery iPhone into the trash compactor and rush out and buy the very latest iPhone. Which by then will probably have X-Ray vision and laser beam capabilities built-in!

Hey Steve... I don't care what it costs... I want one!
