    For a tech blog it's funny how little you know about product development. 8 months is the last stretch in CE product development - 18 months is the cycle from concept to actual.

    "Apple's products are built just-in-time to avoid stock congestion or last minute changes." This may be true for ICs, screens or so but not necessarily plastics; especially if they know what the footprint of the PCB will be (I assume so) they could start their pilot on housing right about now and one of those parts can make its way to the spare part guys as heads up. #iphone2010

    "Apple's products are built just-in-time to avoid stock congestion or last minute changes. They don't have parts ready eight months before release."
    True, but design is finalized months before release, and then there are the many prototyping iterations. And let's face it, that midboard is pretty freakin' generic. Maybe if I saw the next-gen #00 Phillips screws, I might be more convinced? ;-) #iphone2010

    @Geraldo: That's what I concluded, that maybe they obtained parts specs not from production (as on the 3GS) but someone involved in prototyping. #iphone2010

    The question is could Apple come out with an update to the iphone just 6 months after the 3GS? I think so, for 3 reasons.

    1. To me the 3GS was really more a speed bump than a real next generation update. So this would be an update to the 3G from 1.5 years back.

    2. This could be the iphone being released to Verizon

    3. At the pace Android phones are being released and the progress of the OS, in another 6 months the 3GS will feel and may actually be dated. #iphone2010

    @Serpentor reads Gizmodo: people will *freak* *out* if they bought a "new" iphone only this summer and another "new" one comes out at christmas. it'll be the $600 to $400 price drop all over again. I don't think there's any way apple's doing this. #iphone2010

    It's sad, at least to me, that they don't have to fear any serious backlash.

    It seems like Apple's sending a ton of time anymore trying to prevent people from doing things with the phone. Isn't that counter productive?

    They should spend their time on something else or to add new features, not try to fix a "problem" that only a fraction of people achieve.

    I have the Mophie and LOVE it, it's not hard to take off at all, those are rumors. Mine fits snug and slides off easlily too. I WISH, someone would make a case such as the Mphie that's just thicker instead of taller so it could have a larger capacity battery. The thickness would be much better to tolerate than the height in my opinion. This looks like it's a "snap and break" waiting to happen because it's so tall. And not very pocketable like a thicker one would still be. Not for everyday use probably, but certainly better than almost double the height of this thing. I don't like this one. Love the power, but footprint it too high.

    This is bordering on ridiculous... to expect someone to not feel discomfort with a device of such girth is laughable.

    At some point, one has to wonder if the perceptual need for increased lasting-power is not simply an attempt at disguising poor form and sloppy usage.

    @bmoctta: both the Mophie Air and the Incase have smaller batteries by more than half but make better phone cover/case/protectors, are significantly smaller, form fit/look better and/but cost more....

    As the man who got both the Mophie Air AND the Casemate the first week I had my 3Gs, I can't say no to this, not without checking it out. The main problem is taking off the Mophie. I hear it's a real pain.

    Pffff I dunno about you, but this is great. If you're using your iPhone as your primary means of entertainment while traveling, it's nice to have something like this so you can watch videos and listen to music for the duration of the trip, and have a full battery when it's time to use it as a phone again when you get where you're going.

    @Kaiser-Machead: pfff, i dunno about you, but in this day and age if a child dressed in a monkey costume dancing to bjork isn't your primary means of entertainment, then you should just kill yourself with a juicer. i don't know what any of this means.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Fair point. The only time I would use my iPhone as my primary means of entertainment is when I fly. I would rather carry a USB cable to keep my iPhone charged since my laptop is invariably plugged in to a wall at the terminal (and now, increasingly on the flight as well).

    @Don Nguyen: Fair enough, though in my case, if my laptop is out, there's not much point to using my handheld for entertainment. On the Greyhound (whenever I used to take it), something like this would've been great.
