Steve basically skipped right over the proximity sensor issue, made one passing statement about how "we're working on it" and switched attention back to the antenna issue. <br /><br />That said, I'm still somewhat impressed. I'd expected that Steve would give lessons to reporters on how to properly hold the iPhone 4, then introduce a new product called iTape, used on your iAntenna on your iPhone to improve your iReception, available for *only* $20 at your local Apple Store. Free bumpers for all is far more than I expected...<br /><br />- Badtux the Geeky PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-80968520067613735952010-07-16T13:26:39.369-07:002010-07-16T13:26:39.369-07:00Well, when even the tech blogs that have it in for...Well, when even the tech blogs that have it in for apple are having a hard time demonstrating that this is a real issue, it strikes me that job's response is about right. Just because Farhad Manjoo has an issue and a platform doesn't actually make it a problem.<br /><br />And, aside to EBM, the reason that I commented on the Justin Beiber post and not the others is that it is personal to me. Just saying "yeah, baby" to a post I agree with or that I want to think about, isn't there for me to do.Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149759309589778285noreply@blogger.com
