The name also set the misconception that it should have the battery life of a cell phone. It's a mini-computer, people! If you think of it that way, 3 hours of battery life for such a small device is pretty decent! I agree that stuff like e-readers and gaming devices should be separate and just do their one thing well. If you want something that does multiple things well, then just get a...um...Apple Tablet. Heh. I’d like to add that I actually think the name “iPhone” isn’t an accurate moniker for the device, since I make actual phone calls with it about 10% of the time.
