PC World, Gizmodo, 9 to 5 Mac, Mobility Site , jkOnTheRun and probably a bunch of others happily report that while the iPhone 3g battery life can’t be compared to the first-gen one, it’s still better than any other 3G phones on the market today.

This is a worthless comparison without adding the important fact that other phones have replaceable batteries.  C’mon, spare batteries are so slim, you can easily carry one, and use your phone without any interruption  - except on the iPhone: when it’s gone, in about 5 hours, you’re dead.

Oh, TechMeme has its ways of creating some fun… On the left are the odes of how Holy Apple changed the entire wireless industry.  The untold story.   Too bad it got juxtaposed with the much less cheerful story of a customer being denied warranty for having downloaded a custom ringtone.

I was amongst the first to call the iPod Touch an iPhone without the At&T baggage. Little did I know the iPod would soon become a … phone. . If the news is true, you can soon use a VOIP application to make calls on your iPod. Somehow I doubt AT&T is happy about it…
