Sorry to disillusion you, but the only 'awareness' iPhones possess, is the current location of your wallet and how best to siphon off the contents.
All this focus by Cnocbui on money must mean he has none...
Of course, many of us have done very well by investing in Apple, Inc., especially at the right times like April 2003 myself (and I have the Schwab Trade Confirmation to prove that... (Yet another company started in 1977)) for under $7 per share.
Good thing I'm under a pseudonym - otherwise I'd have to post a darn disclosure and disclaimer.
At the next event Steve is going to pull back the curtain to reveal the iWeapon X. The future of killing machine that can run multiple applications, assuming that they have been approved by apple first. But i bet it won't run flash.
Is this the same substance used to make the T-1000 Terminator?

All necessary materials to build an interociter, or make that an iIntercociter.

Bragging about your wealth is generally considered gauche.
Will this quickly or slowly replace all the aluminum or steel components? Can they mill this stuff like aluminum for unibody cases? What is the material cost in comparison to aluminum?
Actually, the cool thing about the alloy is that it can be formed in a similar injection process as plastics making it more versatile for curvy shaped parts.
Cost, from my limited research a few years ago, is much higher than traditional materials such as aluminum, but it is thought that the versatility and strength gained make up for the raw material costs in shorter manufacturing time and less material.
I always thought they would use it for future NASA spaceships, and the like, but I have started suspecting that it deforms at a lower temperature than the materials currently used. Guess there always has to be a trade-off for versatility.
Let's understand something here. I've been reading articles that have stated that metals can't be die cast because of the crystalline nature of the metal, and that this will be able to be die cast because it has no crystalline structure. This isn't true.
Metals have been die cast for a long time. "Tin soldiers", actually made of zinc, have been die cast. Metal type is die cast, and has been since the 19th century. Metal camera bodies are die cast. Some of them have such high precision that little machining is needed. Even steel is sometimes die cast. Many things are die cast. It's nothing new. The equivalent in plastic is injection moulding.
It's also expensive because the majority of the alloy is often composed of zirconium, beryllium, or titanium as a main constituent..
