Given there are hardware problems in the design
leading to OVERHEATING (from comments on the web)
MICROSOFT should describe the design flaws rather than just
buying off the public with a 1.15 billion dollar
'recall' option.
This is not software where there is no accountability for
producing a finished working product; it is HARDWARE
that for example could represent a fire hazard if indeed
overheating is an issue....
If it was a car company or another electronic device
machine manufacturer I believe the flaw would have
to be described as part of a recall....
There is no reason MICROSOFT should not explain
what is going on. It is their responsibility to be accountable
for their machine design flaws and how they came about
in the production/get-product-to-market cycle.
Why are they not required to explain?
--Is Microsoft above the law?
Offering to fix the machines does not go far enough.
The consumer public deserves and should require
an explanation.

Exactlly....why the iphone will be a flash in pan at best 1) no one likes ATT 2) too expensive especially given roll out of several devices like VIA intros NanoBook Ultra Mobile Device - $600 ultraportable laptop and cheaper like devices... 3) touch screens s*ck, they make your finger tips sore after extended use especially on glass 4) glass? so is it unbreakable glass? or does one drop take out the iphone? 5) as usual Apple overprices a combined component item charging the max for each component instead of discounting a grouping.... as for example selling 5400 rpm drives in their high priced pcs when everyone else uses 7200 rpm unless its a cheapo....

3) touch screens s*ck, they make your finger tips sore after extended use especially on glass
4) glass? so is it unbreakable glass? or does one drop take out the iphone?

Why not call the 'iPhone' (Apple's) the IOUphone since its so expensive and tied to Cingular?
Or the uPhone since the case against utube would be easier to win?
Will the world economy grind to a halt when people stop grinding cell phone 'upgrades?'
How about HIVE phones with no phone company involved at all ever, because they talk to each other by
digital radio serially? (patent pending...patent trolling)

Apple released the ROUND MOUSE a few years ago that was a real case of design takes the lead over utility....

IOUphone due to price and Cingular engagement or uPhony since it sounds good
