iPhone Is Crap - Or At Least It’s 40 Minute Battery Is

Ever the iPhone denouncer, good ole’ John Dvorak is at it again. Dvorak already made it known that he thinks Apple should trash the iPhone. This time, it’s not so much that he’s talkin smack about Steve Jobs’ baby as much as he is reporting on a scoop from a Cingular insider. The scoop came to Dvorak from “a guy at Cingular who’s testing the product,” in confidentiality. But - in his podcast - John decided to give up that information anyway, confidentiality be damned.
Apparently, “the amateur mistake that they made is not having a removable battery. You run 20 minutes and you’re using up half the battery power. You get 40 minutes total talk time. And the interface fouls up constantly.” If this turns out to be true, Jobs has mere months - very little time - to get the iPhone and it’s non-removable battery into shape for its June 11 launch.
Thanks for the sleuthing, John. I’m sure your source (if he’s actually legit) is grateful for your job-jeopardizing podcast.

iPhones arrrrrre craaaaaaaaaaap! they cant do anything 4 shit! its so gay! gayer than anything! yewww i hate iphones! they are like… just came out from the drainpipe!
They are crap. Tooo big, and lousy texting. Hate the stupid phone.
Despite many finding the iPhone a great toy, I have found that in terms of functionality, it is definitely inferior to Windows Mobile PocketPC. In terms of user-friendliness, it is likely the best phone out there. But my main problem with iPhone is that it does not even allow the owner or anyone to copy files onto it! Not without doing a jailbreak first. I remember my first ipod could plug into the USB and we can copy any files into it. But Apple and Jobs are now insane. You cannot even copy non-music, non-photo, non-video, and non-plain-text files into iPhone. That is crap!! Most of my files do not belong in these few categories. As a result, the jailbreak is no longer optional and there are so many things I cannot do the iPhone because I cannot even do a simple file transfer! I am so glad that I did not waste any money on the iPhone and I am considering getting an Android. I think there are some third-party firmware for iPhone and I hope they can make the iPhone usable for once!
