User Replaceble Battery In iPhone 3G?



Apple has put out a walk through for iPhone 3G and I think it is worth watching. The other thing about the new iPhone 3G is that it sports what looks like a hex screw in the back. So this article made the suggestion that it might be there to help users replace the iPhone battery if needed. I am waiting to see the insides!

Verizon Awaits Steve Jobs Demise To Compete With iPhone!

From this hilarious interview, via the FT:
via the FT:

While describing Apple as a "great company", Mr Seidenberg highlights its small market share of global handset sales. He scoffs at suggestions that the iPhone is about to become a mass-market handset because Apple has accepted mobile operators' pleas to subsidise it.

"There goes the conspiracy again," he says of Apple. "You're declaring them a winner before they've earned it on the field."

Mr Jobs has no monopoly on innovation, says Mr Seidenberg, whose bullishness about Verizon Wireless' future rests partly on his assertion that the mobile phone is "the most disruptive thing in business".
As handsets become banking tools and games controllers, he argues, mobile operators can up-end other companies' business models. "It's very cool. And Steve Jobs eventually will get old . . . I like our chances."
May be he will not have much hair left over, unless he stops for the pulling them, in the bathroom!
