Taken from link above.
A third-party solutions provider catering to customers of Apple's mobile devices claims to have recently acquired an authentic iPhone 4 enclosure whose glass panel failed to withstand a fall from just a few feet, creating an opportunity for the firm to question Apple's heightened durability claims.

Without explaining how, iFixYouri says it came into possession of a complete iPhone 4 shell with its glass face in tact, but minus its internal componentry. It then performed several drop tests of the device from 3 and a half feet above ground, which shattered the glass panel on the third attempt, as can be seen below.

The firm did not disclose the surface onto which the unit was dropped, nor did it perform any investigation into whether the device was more susceptible to damage sans its internal components and the added density and structural resistance they may provide.

Nevertheless, the firm is using the experiment to generate attention and challenge Apple's stated claim that the iPhone 4's all-new design and build quality are "like no other mobile device." The iPhone maker said earlier this week that the device's aluminosilcate glass front and back are "chemically strengthened to be 30 times harder than plastic, more scratch resistant and more durable than ever."

iFixYouri contends that while the glass may be 30 times stronger than plastic and able to withstand bending, its durability still falls short on sudden impact, which is "what causes 95% of glass shattering. Not because you bent the glass in your pocket, not because you dropped it and it bent, but really because of sudden impact."

The firm also argues that the iPhone 4 sports a design flaw that "will bite Apple in the future." Is says that in the new device, the glass sits on top of the unit's aluminum frame, where on previous models it was recessed and protected by a chrome bezel.

iPhone 4 Smash

While iFixYouri's one-off test should be considered anything but conclusive,

I want to compare the web/pdf reading experience to a HD2/EVO and a Streak/Archos5.

I want ysss (the devil's advocate) to tell me where iPhone is standing right now - only talking hacked:

Question 1:
Can I install MPlayer via cydia and the browse from mplayer to my wherever stored avi, xvid, divx on the device?

Question 2:
Other video players and streaming?

Question 3:
Mass storage, does it work/is it there in iPhone 4?

Question 4:
Other torrent apps besides torrentula (with a guy)?

Question 5:
rar and zip archive managers, but esp rar?

Question 6:
Considering the impaired BT, can I send contact cards after hacking it?

Question 7:
There was an app called greasepocket aiming to replicate greasmonkey, is it there yet?

Please consider this for fw 3.x.x (if it's available there it will probably work in 4 also).
