One way to deal with the iPhone battery life
22 August 2008
There are times in life when you have to bite your lip in an elevator for fear of injecting yourself into a conversation to which you are not a party.
Management Consultant #1:
(In a loud voice). How do you like your new phone?
Management Consultant #2:
(Cradling what appears to be an Apple iPhone in his right hand). “It’s good. You just have to manage the battery.”
Management Consultant #1:
“How bad is it?”
Management Consultant #2:
“I have the screen dimmed down, and the email isn’t searching all of the time. If I want my email, I just pull it down.”
Management Consultant #1:
“Oh.”
Management Consultant #2:
“It’s still cool though.”
Management Consultant #1:
“Really?”
As for the rest of us on the elevator, all we could think of was that this Luddite had turned his new iPhone into a Palm 7. “Pulling down your email” to manage the battery? Does Apple know that the average enterprise client base can’t work like that?
Being a consumer-focussed company, the better question might be — Do they care?

I’m sure the Blackberry Bold is a far more enterprise related product from your favourite Canadian CEO’s anyway. Just enough to keep the Jesus phone coveting at bay for another generation.

You are probably right about the preference enterprise clients, but I feel a blog coming on. Just tried the demo Bold.
