stop whining about battery life;

Why should we?

And why should we buy another 99 dollar device to compensate for an undersized battery?

Only by whining do things get improved. It took two years of whining to get cut and paste, it took two years for MMS, Video recording, etc. I expect another full year of whining will yield a better battery on the 4th generation iPhone.

In the mean time, if you are happy with your battery life, then skip over those posts, and try not to be the whining police.

It’s serves for the camera and videocamera that’s it

Now that’s the best explanation I’ve heard all day.

This would prevent surreptitious video recording by providing a “on the air” light to the subject, and this is probably required in many/most jurisdictions.

Let’s keep the rumours comeing.

When I put my phone down, it is always face down. I use a cover and the phone doesn’t slide in this orientation. I’m sure at least some do the same.

I’ll take a stab in the dark and assume that a company of the calibre of Apple has put just an ounce of research and development into the pros and cons of adding a glow to the design. I don’t see Apple sabotaging their success by neglecting battery usage (a second time).

I think it will look nice. Useful or not.

The best thing I like about the iPhone is how simple and nice the design is. To add a useless flashing light is lame….
