intomobile.com — Apparently, the technology uses chemical deposition to register touch-inputs based on heat, but 3 to 6 months of ?extensive use? would start to degrade the technology and cause a lose of sensitivity to touch-inputs. This suggests that the relatively new iPhone fleet in the US could start to exhibit similar problems with time.

Even if the screen doesnt wear away the chemical deposits, there are still reports of people experiencing the problem.

A: This is stupidly inaccurate. Apple actually had a whole write-up + images /animations showing how the thing worked. B: If it were true it would also be the case with, say, the LG Prada phone. (which btw suck mad balls when it comes to typing)

I suppose we'll find out if 1st Gen iPhones last longer than the original iPods soon enough.It would be most unfortunate to those early supporters.

Maybe you don't have enough electricity in you. You should try drinking more electrolytes.
