John C. Dvorak (of dvorak.org/blog—enjoy the drink) clearly has it out for the iPhone, first with his statement suggesting Apple should pull the plug on the geek gadget of all time, and now when he got some “inside information” from a Cingular rep. According to Dvorak, via the rep who’s testing the device, the battery dies within 40 minutes.

According to the mystery Cingular rep, “there’s lots of issues” with the phone, and the interface screws up all the time. I’ll buy the battery issue, because after all, it was reported at only having 5 hours (I get more battery life out of my nano). But the part about he interface screwing up doesn’t seem too Apple-like to me.

But if there are some issues floating around, it is still one of the first revisions, Apple still has 2 months to work out the kinks.
