Isn't there a problem with the iphone Battery?
Recently it has been reported from a myriad of media outlets that there might be some problems with the IPhone's battery. Information now is sketchy, especially since the IPhone has only been in the hands of consumers for a short time. However, if history is any kind of a guide, we might expect from the problems encountered with the ipod there may be issues in the future.
Service of the iphone battery is expected to require a complete replacement of the unit. Customers will be required to give up their phone for up to two weeks. Cost has not been given with certainty, but it may cost close to $100.00.


Can I get New Ringtones on the iPhone?
Yes, but for now it is going to take some work. Essentially the game plan is this: Download a disk image update of the iPhone software from Apple, decrypt and open the image, add a ringtone or two to the file system, close and re-encrypt the disk image, update it to your phone. Ouch! Sounds tricky? Lots of help is available at the iphonedevwiki and the hackint0sh.org iphone hack forum. Need a good application to edit your ringtones online? Try out dopetone.
