The New Eco-Friendlier iPhone

The new iPhone 3G S was released today and it’s got lots of features to help reduce environmental impact, such as:
* PVC-free handset
* PVC-free headphones
* PVC-free USB cable
* Bromine-free printed circuit boards
* Mercury-free LCD display
* Majority of packaging made from post-consumer recycled fiberboard and biobased materials
* Power adapter outperforms strictest global energy efficiency standards
While those are some great environmentaly friendly features, the new iPhone is getting lots of mixed reviews. Personally, I plan to stick with my Blackberry, not because I’m anti-iPhone, but because the iPhone seems to be anti-me. My (extraordinarily large?) fingers just can’t tap touch screen keys very well.
