Webcomic: Irrational iPhone exuberance

Boy what a shock when I saw pics of the opened up iPHONE and the battery was SOLDERED IN! Also they made the case virtually impossible to open and the SIM Card can't be swapped with any other GSM phone SIM Card!! I heard on the news tonite that rhere may be another lawsuit against Apple, once again over their poor quality, short lived, non replaceable batteries! The bad news on this thing keeps coming, and only a week after the most over-hyped, under delivering product launch in history, right along with the Sony PS3!
Why does Steve Jobs keep trying to force users to do every thing in a sealed, proprietary, non user replaceable or swapable fashion? The rest of the industry believes in freedom of choice, and is not afraid of competition. They make it easy to swap a battery or a sim card, and allow the use of memory cards. They also do not have the rediculous over priced hardware, or batteries. A Sandisk Sansa mp3 player battery is under $20. Cell phone batteries cost less than $86 that Apple charges to replace theirs. Also there is speculation that Apple will NOT replace the battery, but simply swap your phone with a refurbished phone, due to the labor involved with replacing a soldered in battery.

Should be with us in about a year...

2 + 2 = 5 in some cases but not in the case of the silver spoon!
