Apple Store The Pier in Atlantic City — I’m here at my local store and surprisingly they’re letting me purchase two iPhone 3G handsets today. I think that the reasons are, a) I’m an existing AT&T customer and b) I’m on the Family Plan. It’s surprising because previously every indication was that you could only purchase one handset per person.

Your mileage may vary (obviously) but it doesn’t hurt to ask…

Biography

Jason D. O'Grady

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty. He also co-founded the first dedicated PowerBook User Group (PPUG) in the United States.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nuvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years, including MacWEEK, Macworld, and MacPower (Japan).

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core, he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.

That solves the non-removable battery problem
NonZealot 11th Jul 2008
This is Apple's answer to those who wanted a removable battery: just carry 2 iPhones. That way, when iPhone #1 runs out of batteries at noon, you can just swap your SIM card to iPhone #2. Consumers win because they get to use their iPhone all day and Apple wins because they get another $600. Yay! happy

And to think...

I only paid $30 to replace the battery in my LG phone.

Batteries in iPhone 2.0 should be easy to replace
Ken_z 11th Jul 2008
No soldering in the new version and there will be
companies that will rapidly come out with
replacement batteries - just like with the iPod.

The easier approach will be the external battery
chargers that will be available - the iPhone slips
right into it and you don't even have to hang up for
a battery charge.
