I believe this problem is far worse than we imagine, but we live in an era that addresses issues after the inevitable has already occured, sadly.

This article is missing the fact that the quality of air is going to decline no matter what we do because the process is delayed-the effects of petroleum fuels will be ongoing even if we stop using them today. What the switch to biodiesel would do is lessen the harmful effects that we will see in 2020.

As someone living in Japan right now, I can tell you that the iPhone is far beyond anything they have here. People here rarely buy smartphones, and the browsers on the 3G phones leave much to be desired.

Perhaps the sale of iPhones will increase peoples exposure to Apple as well, it would be nice to see some more variety. I can hardly talk people out of using internet explorer, much less switch to a different operating system.
