Apple withholds eco info on iPhone
A U.K.-based initiative to determine the carbon footprint of mobile devices was given the cold shoulder by the ever-secretive Apple Inc.
The initiative, called O2 EcoRatings, saw Nokia, HTC, Samsung, LG, Palm, and Sony Ericsson all willingly offer up information so that O2 could determine the device's environmental impact. Apple, however, refused.
