from an iphone

I heard (though it's not entirely substantiated) that many folks are having problems with the battery on their iPhone. And, that new batteries are not cheap.

 

I read that the iphone battery will only accept 300-400 charges before having to be "sent back" for battery replacement. I'm not quite sure that got much play, but if I dropped $599 for a phone only to have to give it up for an undefined amount of time to get the battery replaced, I'd be PISSED.

 

I think that's true of the IPod as well. Just wear and tear.

No phone is worth six bills. Wait a year, it'll be half that.

The only people foolish enough to buy it now are what the marketing gurus call the "innovators", the ones who absolutely have to have the latest thing, regardless of the cost, to show off to their friends.

That was me, back in the early 80s, buying a two-head VCR when I still lived with mom and dad, with a corded remote that did only the basics, and dropping nearly a G on it. I've smartened up. The wide screen only came into the house at Christmas, probably half the price the 40-incher was a year or two ago.

 

True dat. Wait a bit. Speaking of ... did anyone see that Sony is dropping the price of the PS3 $100?

 

But, will it blend?

That is the question.
