iPhone Adapter Recall
If you bought the Apple 3G iPhone, then you got one of these really cool tiny chargers for it. Unfortunately, they are being recalled.
Apple says that they have received reports of the adapter’s metal prongs breaking off in the power outlet. They will replace the adapters in mid-October and they will be marked with a green dot.
In the meantime, they should charge their iPhone 3G by connecting it to their computer with the USB cable that came with their iPhone or by using a standard-sized Apple USB Power Adapter (with fold up prongs) or with a third party adapter designed to work with the iPhone, such as a car charger.
Personally, I LOVE my new iPhone adapter. It is so small that I have no problem packing it up to go on a trip. Instead of forcing my computer to stay on all night while my phone charges, I can just plug it into the wall and close my laptop up.
I don’t want to surrender my adapter until I know I can have a new one soon. I guess I’ll sign up to get a new one and grit my teeth until October. Fortunately, I have no travel planned between now and then.
