"Scattered reports from people who have put their hands on pre-release models say that its main problem is not the rumored battery-life shortfall, but the sleek, slippery surface", says Business 2.0. They mention a source that had long-time access to the Apple iPhone, who believes most consumers will end up buying skins, or cases to prevent the industry-shattering device from falling to it's concrete death. The source also mentioned that the iPhone's battery would actually beat Apple's own quoted battery life time, exceeding the 5 hours of talk time, and 16 hours audio playback. How far is June again? Can I be put into a deep sleep until the iPhone is released? Thanks.
