Apple: You can gab on that iPhone for eight hours
(Credit: Apple)According to Apple, you can ditch your fears over the rumor that the iPhone has 45 minutes of talk time. The company announced Monday that the much-anticipated handset will ship with much better battery life than was expected when it was first announced in January. The iPhone will finally be released, as you probably already know, on Friday June 29.
The numbers from Apple? The company had initially anticipated that the iPhone battery would allow five hours of talk time (though rumors around the blogosphere suggested it was actually much less than that), but now Apple is boasting that it'll last a full eight hours with a whopping 250 hours of standby time. Apple is also saying that you'll alternately be able to enjoy six hours of Internet use, seven hours of video playback, or 24 hours of audio playback. That's twice as long as the ultra-efficient iPod Shuffle.

Update at 10:12 a.m. PDT: Whoops! There was an error in Apple's original competitive data chart (above, corrected). The original chart said that the Nokia N95 did not have Wi-Fi capabilities. It, in fact, does.
Ok, and why aren't u mentioning about Camera resolution?
Nokia N95 has Wi-fi, GPS, and 5 Mega-pixel Camera. Why are u trying to hide this !????
