On the one hand, elcreative is quite right in that Lithium Polymer batteries do this in any and all devices in which they're used. Hence that part of the article is indeed an absolute non-story.
On the other hand, Apple's reply that continuing to charge the battery beyond the point when the indicator shows 100% will harm the battery is either a sign of utter cluelessness on the part of the Apple rep, or an indication that Apple has not implemented an automatic cut-off when 100% charge is really reached.
If the latter is the case, then that's a disaster waiting to happen for anyone who routinely leaves their device charging overnight, which is probably a majority of owners. I can't really believe that Apple would be that stupid, so I'm betting on a dimwitted rep.
