As always, an Apple press event completely shuts down the internet and suffocates all other news. For the most part, it seems that all the news surrounds Apple’s supposed “Anntenna-gate” situation. All this antenna talk has swiftly become a headache for everyone, I suspect that it will be completely forgotten. As for Apple bringing other manufacturers into this, I think it’s a good idea. After Apple posted examples of other phones experiencing the death grip, I have since tried it on other devices and seen it work exactly as described, just like it does on the iPhone. Personally, I believe this is all hype and is only a big deal because the iPhone is a high profile device - no one cares if a Bold has the same “problem” cause no one that matters uses one. Well, that may be a bit of an over-reaching statement, but the point stands, Blackberries and Droids alike lose signal when held. Just seems like everyone who is complaining, doesn’t even own an iPhone 4 and has no place to speak up in the first place. Anyway, here’s the week contained in links.
