The comments above are exactly why apple can do what it did with the iPhone 4, which is create a flawed design. And then people think it's commendable when they provide a fix, for something they broke in the first place? And do they really have to post antenna videos of other phones on the market? what is the point of that exactly? to show that it's ok for apple to have a flawed design because they can replicate the issue on a few other devices?

And of course this is the prime focus of the iPhone 4 news, because nothing else was revolutionary about the new phone. The display is sharp, but also uses more power compared to AMOLED screens. Can we really call it improvement now when we sacrifice efficiency? I can't really comment on FaceTime, because it's not something I understand/care for, but other phones had the same feature before, so again, not all that exciting.

Brand loyalty creates blindness in the consumers. There are many products I really enjoy, but why defend a company that you have no ties to, unless you feel that your items are an extension of who you are, and by relation, the company is an extension of everything you believe in. Make apple work harder, don't accept their mistakes, because you'll only end up with poor results.

All said, i think apple got too cocky (or maybe they just decided that they wanted form to lead function, as opposed to following it), and unfortunately, there are too many fans that accept it, so apple doesn't need to work harder to impress, because the customers will just take it, as we see here.


Do Antenna Issues Make the iPhone 4 a Bad Apple?

Yeah, I'm not buyin it (literally and figuratively). If this had been something more along the lines of the Lenovo laptop from CES 2010, I could have understood it all. Something that acts as a screen for a real computer/OS when docked, but you can detach the screen and use it as a portable media device. It would be able to communicate with the main station wireless, easily transfer files, and so on. But without some standard hardware like USB, camera, HDMI and such, this will require too much dongle action (again, literally and figuratively).

It seems like most people agree that this is a few steps away from a final product, if we learned anything from iPhone-iPhone 3GS is that it's best to wait on these first iterations.

Pressure sensitive capacitive touchscreens aren't too far off. AR interface would have been a good leap, but i think we're coming close to changing the way we do computing, but the iPad, doesn't do anything to get us closer than so many of the other tablets we've seen.
