I didn't see a Flash video, but perhaps I missed it? There's an MP4 at http://images.apple.com/media/us/airpods/2016/94916564_4bfa_... .

That's not a flash video.

Five hours battery life is a killer. I can't even get through a flight without having to charge my headphones -- a no go for me.

I don't even have these and I've already lost them.

I wonder what the loss rate of these will be?

As in, how many will fall out of ears to be lost, as they are not physically tethered to the wearer?

Three things I really hope they do:

1) Come out with a phone case that can hold the AirPods, and ideally charge them (Maybe enhance the battery case they already have?). I don't want yet another thing in my pocket, especially one I also have to remember to charge. Let me charge my phone, which can then charge my airpods. Let me always have my airpods on me by attaching them to my phone.

2) Make a "Find my Airpods" feature that plays a really loud ass beep out of the headphones when they inevitably fall out of my ears/hands/pocket/bag/everywhere

3) Enable more tap commands than just Siri. Siri sucks so much. And I don't want to be on an airplane loudly repeating "Turn up the volume"

They take 15 minutes to recharge for another 3 hours of listening. Minor inconvenience.

Hell no.

I think this has done it folks. After almost 10 years of iOS devices it's time to move on. Vote with your wallets and reject this garbage.
