iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass
Dekortage writes "Prior to its much-hyped launch on June 29, Apple has announced upgrades to its battery life (almost 40% more than originally announced) and scratch resistance (using "optical quality glass" rather than plastics). The announcement also includes a comparison chart pitting the iPhone against smartphones from Nokia, Samsung, Palm, and Blackberry."
"Is there anybody who works the press as well as Steve Jobs?"
Uhh. Paris Hilton?
Mow the lawn, teach me Spanish? Is it waterproof, shockproof? Can it float fly and sit in an oven? Will it let me run my personal build of BSD? No? Then it's shit and we should shun it and hate it.
How many N95's sell anyway? They cost $800 (list from Dynamism).
... on a huge 3.7" screen...
Only on slashdot will you ever hear 3.7" referred to as "huge".
Please stop insulting retards.
One isn't a valid sample. He should get a load of them and compare them. Maybe on a chart or something.
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Depends if that's the width, honey.
You thought my name meant what? How very dare you!
You forgot to read the small print ... * Battery life affected be screen intensity. Video playback assumes LCD display off.
If we can't fix it, we'll fix it so nobody else can!
The current scratch resistant coatings are problematic. I want Optically Transparent, Scratch-Resistant, Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings on my iPhone.
If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
You missed the one I have ever heard of.
In a year you'll be writing "(..) and remember all the furor over the iPhone glass cracks?"
Congratulations, you've caught on to Apple's marketing secret. Now sit back and wait for the men in black turtlenecks to cart you off for re-education.
Uhh. Paris Hilton?
Paris! You must find your way out of this place or you will surely die. Make your way to the Sparrow Prince! He will guide you the rest of the way. Now go! Make haste!
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Reminds of an ancient TV cigarette commercial where their cigarettes were 2.55 inches long compared to industry standard 2.54 inches - "just a silly little millimeter longer": Benson & Hedges 101s.
cargo pants, carpenter pants, and any other pants with random pockets are fucking retarded.
So write me a ticket, Fashion Cop.
buy regular pants.
Then I wouldn't have extra pockets... Duh!
