Leibson's Law: It takes 10 years for any disruptive technology to become pervasive in the design community. This blog is about the disruptive technologies that either have or will win over electronic engineers, some that won't, and why. Please feel free to link to these blog entries! Written by Steve Leibson, a freelance content creator and marketing/lead-generation consultant specializing in high-tech companies, former VP of Content for Reed Business, and former Editor in Chief of three publications including EDN.

Apple's iPhone: Literally Too Hot to Handle?
Jul 5 2007 3:04PM | Permalink |Comments (0) |
No sooner did I blog Microsoft's Xbox 360 tribulations than I ran across this story by Joe Hutsko over at MSNBC that talks about his Apple iPhone dying after only four days of use. The phone locks into a reset loop, never to return. During charging (when it was working), the phone became untouchably hot, a bad thing for a handheld product, I'm sure you'll agree, and perhaps a predictor of the failure that was to come. So, all you Apple fanboys, don't get too smug about Microsoft's woes. Apple might be right behind.
