Quite: This is the European Commission, let us not forget. There are two possible outcomes:

1. Nothing is heard for 27 years.
2. They decide to blame microsoft (their default stance) and fine them One Billion Dollars.


Edit: Whoa. Animus, this is getting spooky: I keep posting "comedy" rejoiners to your comments. I'll stop now.

Agreed with all posts, about time and they will probs get off free. My phone hasnt exploded either, its an LG thats why!.

Probably because no one has heard of it! :P

Any i-devices with classic hard drives inside been affected? Seems like only ones with flash memory? Oh, and yes this has been a long time coming!

The company now says it's the customers, claiming some sort of improper handling led to the explosions. In all cases, the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone. There is strong need to take care of such issues. The explosion problem was faced by Nokia also.
