Secondly, a lot of people may not notice. I mean, who the hell makes a laptop with no screen, right? Who makes a cellphone without a replaceable battery. Yes, it's their first. Yes, it's like an iPod. However, consumers have certain expectations.
I dunno, I just expect WAY more from Apple. I mean, they're Apple for pete sake!

Bad business? If it was bad business then the stores wouldn't have been packed with people buying the phone. Consumers knew well ahead of time that the battery wasn't replaceable. Common sense would tell you that if the battery isn't replaceable then some sort of service would be needed in order to fix the phone. The stores were still packed and people like the phone. I like the phone but as I've said, I'm waiting for at least 2nd gen before I consider buying one.
