Late yesterday afternoon, Apple Computer issued a single-paragraph statement reminding its iPhone users that their warranties would not be able to cover damages to their phones caused by the use of unlocking utilities. The company used a carrot and stick approach, reminding users that an iTunes Music Store update was on the way, but that attempting to install it on a cracked phone could render it useless.

(InfoWorld) - Apple has revealed details of itsÂ battery replacement planÂ for the iPhone. The plan costs $79 plus an additional $6.95 postage and packing. Under the plan, iPhone users will be able to have their battery replaced if it fails; the plan extends to devices that have passed their warranty period. Installing a new battery also means users must expect a three-day wait and should be prepared for all the data on their phone -- including contacts, e-mail account settings, text messages and other content -- to be wiped out. "It is important to sync your iPhone with iTunes to back up your contacts, photos, e-mail account settings, text messages, and more," Apple warns, saying it is, "not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service."

(InfoWorld) - Apple said today that when its iPhone ships June 29, its battery will deliver eight hours of talk time, up from the five hours Apple said it would have in a preliminary report that came out in January. The increase to eight hours would bring the iPhone "closer to other cell phones," said Jeff Kagan, an Atlanta-based independent analyst. "Battery power is one of many key items customers look for. Nobody wants a dead phone, even if it is the coolest new item on the market." Apple also announced that the entire top surface of the device, including the 3.5-in. display, has been upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass to resist scratches and to improve clarity. The durability of the touch display has been a concern among some potential iPhone users as the device is controlled with a "tap, flick, or pinch of the fingers," as Apple puts it. According to Apple research, four other recently released multifunction devices all have plastic screens: Nokia's N95, Samsung's BlackJack, Research In Motion's BlackBerry Curve 8300, and the Palm Treo 750. Apple also said the iPhone's battery will support six hours of Internet use, up from five hours in the January estimate; seven hours of video playback time, up from five hours; and 24 hours of audio playback time, up from 16 hours. Standby time will be 250 hours, Apple said. "With eight hours of talk time and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone's battery life is longer than any other smart phone and even longer than most MP3 players," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a release. Apple didn't describe what enabled the increase in battery performance in its official statement, but a company spokeswoman said the January numbers were "preliminary estimates." When asked if Apple had re-engineered its power management software to save power, she said, "Certainly," but declined further comment. Kagan added a caveat, noting that people who buy iPhones will be using them more than other people use traditional cell phones. "The screen is cool to look at and begs you to touch it and play with it," Kagan said. "All that time sucks the battery dry. We have to see if this extended battery [time] is enough."

I distrust perfection, so when I finally got my hands on an Apple iPhone, the sheer delight of the experience made me nervous. Yes, I know what I wrote just over a week ago: "The iPhone is exactly as cool as you've heard, and then some," and I meant it. But I'd been given a mere half-hour of play time ...

(InfoWorld) - The number of iPhones manufactured by Apple may not be enough to meet customer demand when the smart phone goes on sale later Friday, CEO Steve Jobs said in an interview published the same day. "We had to make our best guess as to what the demand was going to be and what supply we were going to put in place many, many months ago. We built factories to build these things and everything. We've taken our best guess but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it ain't enough," Jobs told the Wall Street Journal in an interview. The iPhone, which combines the functions of an iPod with a smart phone, goes on sale in the U.S. at 6 p.m. and is one of the most anticipated gadgets in recent years. Two models will offered, the 4GB model costs $499 and the 8GB model is priced at $599. Users also have toÂ sign a two-year contractÂ with carrier AT&T. The cost of those plans range from $59.99 per month to $99.99 per month. Some prospective buyers have beenÂ camping outside storesÂ in hope of being among the first to own one of the new smart phones. A surge in demand for the iPhones could mean the devices are hard to come by at first, depending on the number that Apple and AT&T have in stock. A shortage of iPhones would not be unusual. Vendors often have a limited number of units to sell when a new product hits the market. In the case of products where demand is particularly high, such as for new game consoles, limited product availability -- whether intentional or not -- andÂ long lines outside storesÂ help build buzz and generate media coverage. Jobs also downplayed concerns over the iPhone's dependence on AT&T's EDGE network, which is slower than 3G (third-generation) networks. "You know every (AT&T) Blackberry gets its mail over EDGE. It turns out EDGE is great for mail, and it works well for maps and a whole bunch of other stuff. Where you wish you had faster speed isâ¦on a Web browser. It's good enough, but you wish it was a little faster. That's where sandwiching EDGE with Wi-Fi really makes sense because Wi-Fi is much faster than any 3G network," Jobs told the Wall Street Journal. He said the iPhone had been designed to switch to Wi-Fi when such networks are detected. Â
