“Power Adapter Exchange Program”
“Apple Recall” sounds more like a finely tuned buzz word for their Time Machine application or the latest Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, rather than the serious Apple concern that it is quickly growing to become.
Apple has recently addressed reports that the lifeblood of the iPhone 3G, the power adapter, contains prongs that are prone to breaking off in your outlet, resulting in electric shock. Rather than downplay the issue as circumstantial, Apple has announced a worldwide recall of all iPhone 3G power adapters.
Exchanges are available via web and instore beginning October 10th. In the meantime we strongly recommend using the supplied usb adapter to power your iPhone via your computer.

This is definitely bad press for Apple. Do you think they rushed in releasing the 3G, and overlooked things like this? I haven’t heard that many good things about the 3G, at any rate.
Apple has gotten a lot of bad press lately, not just for the recall, but also for failing to meet market expectations and their constant inconsideration towards developers.
The only real difference, aside from the casing, between the 3G and its predecessor is the Infineon 3G chip. I’ve heard endless stories of reception problems and iPhone 3G issues. I think the firmware is just as accountable for these problems as the latest iPhone itself.
Thanks for your comment!
