Apple Thoughts: iPhone 4 Bursts into Flames

"The above picture is from from Boy Genius Report, who claim they received it from an AT&T Store employee dealing with a customer who said their iPhone 4 had spontaneously burst into flames. As you can see above, the adapter cable is completely melted, and the iPhone's stainless steel antenna band is charred. The customer said his hand was burned, and the adapter cord itself burned up, too."

This seems to be a unique event. The problem wasn't with the iPhone or the sync cable. The USB port on the computer the phone was connected to was pushing too much power. Still, the phrase "spontaneously burst into flames" is enough to send shivers down the spine of any smartphone owner. I always worry about breaking the glass on my phone, but this is obviously much worse. What's your worst smartphone experience?
