Maybe it's all the copy & pasting that's causing them to explode.....?
Nah, it probably combusted with all the annoying voice command requests.Quote:

Frankly for the money you pay, you would expect the phone not to try kill you at least.
I don't think it was copy and paste, think it was the over heating - you can't use them in direct sunlight you know.
Maybe it was just a build up of smug then...?
Mind you, most Macs would've gone nuclear by now if that were the case.
Ahh.... this worries me as I was planning to upgrade my 3G to a 3GS... if it's gonna explode on me, that would not be a profitable decision.
LMAO, I recon its just a design feature that has kicked in 12months to early.... Apple meant this to start happening just after they released the Iphone4 (an ambulance) as a way to encourage people to upgrade...Quote:

I reckon they ran a GPS thing on it, the iPhone became briefly sentient, realised it was in France, and did the only sensible thing.
Same logic applies to the other report mentioned, it was in Liverpool :mrgreen:Quote:

It's clearly just an anti-theft mechanism - someone, nearby, not the owner?! Quick, explode with intent to maim, that'll teach you thieving SoB!
Are you sure your ipod was nicked, and wasn't taken away to be made save by the bomb disposal squad?Quote:
