We already went through a period where we have to take the battery out of laptop for fear of them exploding midair.

I suppose with iPod and iPhone, the fact that you can't take the battery out means they may face outright ban.

That may teach Apple not to make it impossible to take out their i* batteries.

Don't give them any ideas or they WILL prevent taking any apples into airplanes as they might explode mid-flight. This also explains the "security" comedy at the airports as they are already trying to prevent you from taking any apple juice to the plane.

What I am surprised about is that none of these items are banned on aircraft. I guess they are waiting until a laptop explodes on a combustable seat and take down a plane before they ban them. The old wait until something bad happens rather then prevent something bad.

Hope we don't see further restrictions placed on the lithium-(insert chemistry) availability as a result of this stuff. I fly large scale (electric) model aircraft and that hobby has already seen major movers hobbling away from punting LiPos via airmail for safety reasons. Too bad the QC can't be there as the energy density is simply awesome (as all of you portable gadget freaks no doubt are aware).

Jobs: Hey Doc why's my liver hurting so much, feels like its gonna explode.

Doc: No worries, perfectly normal, some livers do explode after transplant. But if it does im sure you'll find another Chinese worker to toss off a roof.

Jobs: Yeah your right, i got shed loads of chinks i can use thanks!!

This is most definately caused by users jailbreaking the iPhone -lol. Well acorsing to apple anyway!

Apple plans to sell them to the US Military and airdrop them into Taliban strongholds. They explode killing hundreds It is testing them on fanboys first, after all who would miss any of them?

It's not accidental, it's a product preview. Later this year Apple plans on revealing it's latest personal digital assistant the iBye. It will feature a state of the art touch screen and will be intended for those increasingly common situations where you want to communicate with someone and then instantly destroy any evidence that you have done so. The iBye will support text, voice and video messaging and will play a user selected MP3 such as the Mission Impossible Theme when the self destruct sequence is initiated.

apple have advanced their product from junk to hazardous junk!

at least you cant accuse them of stagnating!!
