    Our dearest Auntie Beeb reports[^] that Boeing has made such a phone. I assume it will based on a self-destructing battery? They have plenty of experience they can call on from their Dreamliner.

    If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

      Well...I did have one design where the PSU was controlled by a small PIC. The hardware guy did tell me that I had to be careful, as the wrong combination of PIC outputs could effectively switch 400VDC onto the 5V rail. So I hooked that to the main application software checksum failure... and made it switch after a number of failures :-O We did for a while have an Indian distributor who then produced "his own machine" that had a rather high failure rate in the field... :laugh:

        My wife has an iPhone like that. It just gave up the ghost this evening for no apparent reason. X|
