Well, the press release is from Apple, so I guess we should all believe it. Right?

Apple� today announced that iPhone will deliver significantly longer battery life when it ships on June 29 than was originally estimated when iPhone was unveiled in January. iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio playback. In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours-more than 10 days-of standby time. Apple also announced that the entire top surface of iPhone, including its stunning 3.5-inch display, has been upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass to achieve a superior level of scratch resistance and optical clarity.

“With 8 hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone’s battery life is longer than any other ‘Smartphone’ and even longer than most MP3 players,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’ve also upgraded iPhone’s entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone like iPhone, and we can’t wait to get this truly magical product into the hands of customers starting just 11 days from today.”

A few years ago, I found a device that actually performed close to what the manufacturer claimed. The Dell DJ Generation 1. It got me over 20 hours of music time!

If this literature is indeed correct, both of my major iPhone doubts will be solved. Battery Life and 3rd Party software ability. Apple announced 3rd Party support (sorta) last week, now this. I hope their research is correct. I really want to get top dollar for my iPhone on eBay and not lose my shirt taking a look at one. Maybe after I test the iPhone, I will do a video of running it over with a car and then if it still works, dynamite?
