Core77

With the iPhone launching in less than two weeks, Apple is still tweaking the design and engineering of the ballyhooed little rectangle.

On the engineering front, battery life has been increased in talk time (eight hours vs. the previously claimed five), internet time (six hours vs. five) and audio playing time (twenty-four hours vs. sixteen).

On the design front, the plastic screen so prone to scratches on previous iPod models will be replaced--by actual glass! Let's hope the iPhone doesn't drop calls, and that you don't drop the iPhone.
