btw, of course Apple sources Li Ion batteries. They also engineer the power management for the charging and discharging of those batteries. Blaming the batteries is like blaming exploding pintos on the driver who filled it with gas.

Hey, here's an idea, put a thermal sensor in the phone. They're tiny, and I'm sure someone would write an app for that.
"Apple, unlike many cell phone makers, built in a switch that automatically shuts down the iPhone if the battery reaches temperatures greater than 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Lithium-ion batteries, in generally, do not spontaneously combust."
