    Hasn't the removable battery argument gotten old?



    I have never know anyone who carries a second battery around with them.

    Battery life of one battery is more important then the ability to change them out.

    Recharge speed is also important, when my phone is low i will change it for 20 min in a pinch and that will get me a few more hours of use.



    If the need of a second battery is so important get one of those add on things, that use the double AA's



    I am hoping to see some cool tech with the screen. I think it would be cool if they use that multi-layer display approach.

    4.) iPod Classic

    5) iPod shuffles - both 1 gen and 2nd gen

    It is old and you mention the external packs off a lot more versatility than replacing the internal battery. One of the biggest one is being able to charge the internal and external at the same time if both are low in power.

    Why don't you just carry a whole power generator around with you then?

    I like this idea; very practical.



    I often think it's funny, given that Apple is so fantastic at design, (and they are) that at the same time they seem to miss things like this that would actually be a great benefit to the end user.



    For instance, an iPhone that you could (accidentally) drop in a toilet or use in the rain would be a far bigger improvement to the daily lives of the average iPhone user than slightly longer battery life. At Apple headquarters in California it hardly rains at all, but where I live it rains almost every day. I don't think this basic fact has occurred to the Apple engineers yet.



    Also, if instead of being the precious jewel it is now and requiring a tiny perfect special case to keep it safe, the iPhone was rugged enough to just toss around like a regular cell phone, or even be sat on (inadvertently) a lot of people's lives would be made much easier overnight.



    I think Apple's design team could benefit from going to an actual working-class person's house (some of them must have poor "friends of friends" or something), to see how real people use their phones day to day and what the actual design problems are. When you don't have a butler to hold an umbrella over you or a Mercedes waiting at the curb (or even a car), the problems you face are slightly different.

    Or if you turn off 3G. No one buys extra batteries for their cell phones and carries them around even if the batteries are swappable. Since you don't even own an iPhone, you are talking out of your ***.EDIT:

    I think the only video we will see is "S" for SHARE and tied to mobile Me, that's it, nothing else.



    Would rather have Xvid/Flash, Mpeg 4 codecs.

    If you gave someone the choice of the exact same battery with the otion of either having it sealed or replaceable most would choose the latter. SO the issue is not old. The arguement on here to support a sealed battery is just tired. It's strictly a fanboy mentality.

    I doubt many have butlers. Im sure many are just average joes.

    Hello- I own a phone, a camera , and a video camera- all of which have swappable batteries. Therefore I know of what I speak. You can put your iPhone back where it belongs now- -OUCH!.

    A quote from a teen site ( I only looked this up because I forgot who she was when he mentioned her name:



    Quote:

    Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and the rest of the cast ?are a dream to work with,? said the source Wednesday, ?But Emma is even more moody than usual. ? She?s always complaining, showing up late and has upset both cast and crew members with her rudeness. ? She?s really become a big diva. ? Everyone?s sick of it.?
