article published on 30 June, 2010
Since the introduction of their new iPhone 4, Apple has been getting complaints of reception problems related to users bridging a gap in the steel band around the phone's edge during normal use. Despite acknowledging that the issue exists, Apple has consistently defended their design and characterized the problem as a user issue.
The problem occurs when the device is cupped in the user's ... [ read the full article ]

Lol, sucks for them. Next time wait till the damn thing gets reviewed instead of just buying it at launch because they can't live one second without an Apple product.

If 1 in 10 are left handed, there will be 1 in 10 holding the phone in there left hand. That would be the right handed people. Then they could use their right hand for jotting msgs or texting or whatever else takes co-ordination. Don't ya think?

I have learned to live without either, apple or droid. What I use still works just great! It is obvious to all normal humans that apple is flawed. Lesson learned. First test the water or suffer the conseqence. Caveat Emptor

Actually, both are quite correct; see this link. Latin is a dead language; we don't have to use Latin rules for plurals ^^ .
Edit --> LOL sorry, a few people beat me to it...
Hmmm...Seems like another case of American English v British English.
According to Wiktionary, it depends on what type of antenna you're talking about. Only radio-frequency devices use antennas as the plural form, which is certainly the case here.

Am following the iPad and iPhone4 'bug' stories just to see how far the Apple faithful will go when making excuses for their beloved brand. I always find it amusing (in a strange kind of way) how much money these people will lavish on these gadgets, how long they queue for the things on release day, and (like KillerBug posted in on of these Apple news articles) how some of the buyers don't even know or care what new gadgets are being thought up by the demonic-looking Mr Jobs, they just have to have them. I find it particularly amusing when people go all-out to defend their purchases, especially when it's to defend the downright laughable bugs with the devices (never mind the downright laughable codswallop ie excuses that Apple are coming out with of late).
This devout Apple non-buyer has nothing to offer to this news article of a constructive nature other than to offer my heartfelt sympathy to those who part with so much money so readily, only to find them fail in ever more comical ways. And if you believe i am not being sarcastic i have a bridge for sale.

creaky, i agree with you, but (there's always a "but" lol)...
People buy Apple products for look, life style, brand name recognition, chick/dude magnetic, "cool" people-wanna-be... Also, most importantly, easy interface. It's like the Wii in a way, you don't need to press many buttons or configure this and that. The damn thing (iPhone, iPad etc) is pretty much idiot proof.
Peace!

The iPhone requires you to hold it in a certain way you may not be accustomed to, and the iPad won't work on any website that requires flash. Exactly how is that idiot-proof?
Apple users love to say "it just works" - no, it doesn't!

I have a Samsung phone that has never lost reception no matter how I hold it. This is because it is designed correctly.
Forcing the customer to change what would seem to be a normal habit just so the iPhone is able to work correctly is totally wrong and bad business. It will take the millions of iAppleFolk to break themselves of the spell and realize the evil of the Apple management before Apple changes their stance on this.
