Should a Zombie Apocalypse occur and I manage to keep my iphone at room temperature for 100 years--would I still be able to play a game of Spore on it after all that time?

Or, much like the decomposing flesh of a zombie, will its innards age and become non-functional? What is the theoretical life of an iphone?

Will you still be alive in 100 years? :D
 
What's the conductivity like of a living dead zombie? How does that affect the touch side of using an iPhone?

Wait! Didn't someone release a stylus for the iphone--I would just use one of those. :)
 
Aye, a stylus made for the iPhone would work. Seeing as you have some time, and it having been an apocalypse, i'd imagine taking there wouldn't be too much security down at Infinity Loop...

Gee, if you kept it under ATT contract, you'd have spent over $100,000 on phone bills by then... and $10,000 on MobileMe.

Ouch. That would kill you, if you weren't dead already.

Crap. It would probably be unlockable by then. I'd just do that and switch to T-moble. . .oh wait. lol
 
That would exceed the storage life of the battery, whether partially charged for optimum longest life, or whatever. There's also the possibility the circuit board might grow solder whiskers and short out.
