Quote:
A spokesman said: "Holding it with your feet should be okay as long as you're wearing Jesus sandals or flippers.

"But to get the most from your new iPhone you really need to fashion a holding device made from a coathanger, a Kraft cheese single and a fish slice.
"This should allow you to get the phone to within about 18 inches of your chin. You can then operate the touchpad with an easy-to-use jumbo pencil, or maybe a chopstick."

The spokesman said pictorial instructions for making the fish slice contraption are now available from the Apple Store for £59.99.

Doesn't matter. It is apple related so it can go anywhere. That's how things are around here. It is only fair that it stays right? ;)

During the WWDC presentation for the iPhone 4, Jobs was having reception problems. Was it because he was holding it in a certain way?

However, it is also noted that other mobile phones can also experience dead spots.

This doesn’t stop me from wanting one. I’ll save up…

Although not news as it's the daily mash.

Probably should be in the rendom sh*t thread (or we need a daily mash thread)

It may not be news but TDM does capture what we all think so perfectly. There is nothing wrong with a TDM link in a thread about a particular story.

I only really flagged it for consistency. :P

This is a definite TMP topic. The original is a definite ITN topic.

I always find it hilarious how people get wound up by the simplest of things. It's a quick way to take 10 years off your life. :lol:

But it's cheaper than smoking and achieves the same result ;)

Interesting article on antennae and why they are where they are in phones.

http://www.antennasys.com/antennasys-bl ... ennas.html

And, more importantly, why they start not working too well when you hold the phones. Clue: FCC regulations.

I am frankly surprised that Apple let this out without solving this problem. Though if a bumper solves it that might be a good enough solution. I suppose they did not notice it because the test model was lost and ended up on Gizmondo. ;)

For a company that prides itself on its design and the mantra "it just works" this is one hell of a cock up.
Having to buy an optional extra so you can maintain a signal is not what anyone in their right mind would call good design.. well except for the truley deluded and those seeing the added sales in extras!!
