Re: [NTLK] [OT] New iPhones/iPhone OS 3.0

James,
I too have a problem with my iPod (touch) battery life. It will last me a day max, but usually by early evening its ready for juice. They could've made the ipods thicker, like the iphone, but I'm guessing they don't want the iPod touch to show up the iphone (which explains the lack of a camera too).
I too want user swapable batteries in all my devices. Really I want STANDARD user swapable batteries in my small devices (AAA or AA) like my newt but I'm not holding my breath :-)

Just for laughs: have there been any indications that Apple might be inclined to include a user-replaceable (although I suppose "swappable" is the word I really want) battery in future iterations of the iPhone?

Perhaps I'm the only one who feels this way, but the fact that owning an iPhone means that I'm tethered to a charger of some kind (vs. simply swapping out batteries) has been, and remains, a deal-killer for me.

I don't know how this is going to sound, but my iPod spends far more time on the charger than it does in my bag due to its built-in battery* and that's not a quality I'm eager to see duplicated in any phone I would own.

Best,

James Fraser

*Yes, I have one of those devices that allows you to use AA batteries, but the form factor it creates upon installation is perfectly awful.
