You said — Sounds great and impressive, right?

You were talking about the recharge cycles. Well, you may not know this, but it’s dramatically longer. I mean, I’ve seen the other batteries and their recharge cycles. We’re talking about maybe 200 cycles or so, and then they start dropping down fast (in charge).

So, this is quite a bit longer and that’s the nature of technology — always getting better and always improving.

You can’t fault Apple for that. It’s always pushing ahead, and usually far ahead of anyone else.

I am agreeing if they can deliver on the 1000 recharge cycles that it would be impressive. I am somewhat skeptical if only for the 1 year warranty. If one could try to get 1000 complete charge cycles before the warranty ends once the battery stops charging fully, to send it in to get a FREE replacement battery change and then get a new warranty of 1 full year on the replacement battery then I might give them some credit. I am betting they won’t fully warranty the replacement battery for an entire year again. If they don’t you are basically left with a $2500-$3000 boat anchor. I say that is proprietary no matter how you slice it.
