Be aware all iPhone users: The device is a time bomb!

 

Keep your distant for all the iPhone user around you. The iPhone may explode anytime. Don’t believe me? Read the rest of the story below.

 

Just recently, another headlines sounded like this, “Yet another exploding iPhone”. This incident happens to a French teenager, when his girlfriend’s iPhone screen suddenly exploded, just a week ago Apple was accused of trying to suppress news of an exploding iPod Touch.

According to the AFP, Marie-Dominique Kolega contacted Apple after her son was hit by a flying piece of Jobsian status symbol. Apparently, the iPhone made a hissing noise before the screen shattered, sending shards through the air. "My son was frightened but he did not lose an eye," Kolega told AFP.

Earlier this month, Liverpudlian Ken Stanborough told The Times of London that after he contacted Apple about his daughter's exploding iPod Touch - which made its own hissing sound before rocketing ten feet in the air - the company said it would refund the price of the device if Stanborough and daughter signed a confidentiality agreement banning them from publicly discussing the incident.

Meanwhile, a recent investigation from the a Seattle TV station found that at least 15 people have complained of fire- and burn-related iPod incidents. This info was culled from an 800-page Consumer Product Safety Commission document, and according to the TV station, Apple lawyers tried to suppress that too.

So, if your iPhone started to make the “hissing” sound, you better leave it and walk away fast. No offence to Apple, I’m sticking to my HTC made device.

Watch your back Palm and Blackberry: Android is going to outshine both of you soon

The HTC Hero is the first Android phone of the manufacturer to run the personalized Sense interface. It changes the overall appearance of the OS and adds a number of new features. The Hero is also the first Android phone to support Flash and is powered by a Qualcomm 528MHz processor and 288 MB RAM/512 MB ROM. Additional functionality includes a 3.5mm jack, trackball, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. It is a quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G handset.

The HTC Hero is to get into the product catalogue of China Unicom and this can happen as soon as at the end of this month. It’s possible that its release is delayed though, due to the extensive testing it has to be subjected to prior to its market launch. The handset is expected to roll out at the hefty price of $820 and will also come in a special red-colour variety, aside from the brown and white versions we already know of.

Too bad I can’t wait for either Palm Pre or the HTC Hero, I bought myself the HTC S740 to replace the ageing Dopod C500.
