What needs to be encrypted?
Ok I get the need for encryption on phones with removable storage because you get the phone, pull the card and so much for your remote wipe! But what is it needed for on the iPhone exactly? What? Are they going to unsolder the chips and place them on a new card? I mean security is important but encryption was added to other phones because they allowed that memory to be pulled or the phone to be connected to as a file system.
And on the battery life issue? Isn't the iPhone like number 1 or 2 for battery life on a 3G smartphone? I know that battery math is half voodoo but the indications are that the iPhone is at or near the top of the heap. So, if the iphone fails in this area, does any phone succeed?
