You find me a competing phone that needs an external battery instead of just slotting in a wallet sized spare.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/
I am sure there are some people in some industries who need their elec devices to have removeable batteries, but for the mainstream, for 98%+ of people who buy, a removable battery is a non-feature. Gadget freaks don't need that feature and the general buying public simply does not rate it as important (c.f. sales figures for iPods and iPhones).

What the mainstream really likes is the thinness of the iPhone. That thinness is achieved by having the insides as thin as possible AND by having the shell as thin as possible. To achieve the same overall strength, a shell with no large cutouts, separate sections, hinges or slots (i.e. stuff necessary for a removable battery) can be much, much thinner than a shell which has them. So the iPhone's successful design is partly achieved by deliberately NOT having a removable battery.

Two points:

1) Why is the E71 as thin or thinner than the iPhone with a removable battery then?
2) Since the article is about an external battery pack for the iPhone you might want to consider context here.]]>Nov 4th 2008 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/

If you need this kind of battery life, the iPhone is the wrong device. Nobody will rock this battery pack all the time. The only real sales I can see are to road warriors who might want to have it "just in case" ... extra movie time, as a failsafe in case your battery runs out when you really need it. But nobody will have this attached to their phone 24x7 -- again, if you do, you bought the wrong device.

And that is why the flash is useless, because it won't be used all of the time.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/Nov 3rd 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/iphone-gains-battery-life-camera-flash-loses-sex-appeal-with-f/
