good bye to apple dominating the smart phone industry  :D
and good luck to those who owns iphones or other apple products :P

Apple replaces iPhones for issues much less severe than this. This isn't going to change the market share.

Enjoy your exploding Sony laptop batteries though (Dell, et. al. circa 2006). ;)

Windows mobile, Android, and RIM phones are getting better and better.  Just wait till this holiday season and u will see.  In a year or two I dont think Apple will have as much of the smart phone market as they currently do.

here's the real side of the stories.

http://gizmodo.com/5348444/iphone-explosions-the-inside-story

what actually happens is that 1/500 calls for problems with iphones are legitimate (all from battery over-heating), and all the others are from french people trying to get a free replacement for there own mistake like dropping it and the screen cracking. 

"Seems like the French iPhone "explosion" plague is just a stupid summer media craze fed by some stupid French people."



*i do not condone the criticism of french people.
