      When stuff like this happens to Apple I always laugh and 
think about those people who told me that Apple has "superior 
engineering and hardware". Apple is just pushing more cheap 
Chinese junk hardware like some other vendors. I've also heard 
there may be a problem with the USB port, it may be subject 
overheating and catching fire. It's no wonder Android based 
phones are gaining on Apple's iPhone and will probably overtake 
them in a year or two. From what I've seen the Android EVO 4G is 
a far superior product than Apple's iPhone 4. The only advantage 
I give Appe is the new display on the iPhone it's excellent. 
It's perfect for watching the signal bars drop when someone 
holds it.
