The iPhone4 with it's antenna problem has fueled a lot of creativity on the internet. Like the iPhone 4 Antenna Song. Apple even took special permission and played this at the iPhone 4 conference.

Apple has announced via their official spokesperson Steve Dowling that a press conference will be held at their headquarters in  Cupertino, Calif. Amid mounting pressure from consumer forums and their stock dropping by 3 percent. Apple has decided to go head-on with this issue and address any public concerns. He did not mention who would be speaking at the conference. So Whether Steve Jobs will address the gathering is quiet unsure.  The problem as reported by many irate iPhone 4 uses is that is the phone is held in a certain way as to block the notch connecting two antennas on it's lower left side. The signal strength drops and renders the phone unusable. Wheather this is entirely trus is not clear and many iPhone 4 users say they have never experienced a single dropped call. Here's some humor on the whole fiasco by none other that David Letterman. Once he steps in then you know your problem is generating a lot of Buzz and needs to be address.

Majek Pictures have produced a small movie called the "Apple of my eye". This movie has been short entirely on the Apple iPhone 4. When Steve Jobs said that the iPhone 4 comes with HD quality video. There is also the iMovie App that has been used for editing.  The short film took only 14 hours to film and if you check out the behind the scenes footage you get to see how the folks at Majek Pictures got the whole thing done. Apparatus used to hold the iPhone steady is really cool and this is a fantastic production. watch it now to believe it.  This is truly an iStory.

The Problem. The iPhone 4 seems to loose it's network when gripped in the lower left corner which covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band. This is because that is exactly where the antenna is embedded. The Solution. According to Steve Jobs is to stop holding it that way. Essentially telling users to stop gripping the phone in the lower left hand corner. Change the way you hold you phone and things should improve. The problem maybe with it's design, the antenna should have been positioned and placed better. Rather than asking users to hold it differently. And if that is not possible then just get yourself a case and the network would be better. What the case would be is break contact with your flesh and thereby improve the signal. Since it's the notch there on the lower left corner that needs to be left alone.  The company has also issued a statement regarding the network issues. Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performa...

There were many rumors the Apple may make Bing the default search engine on the iPhone. During the WWDC we learned that, that is not so. Bing will join Google and Yahoo and now has the blessings of Apple to be a part of the Mobile Search revolution. Despite Bing's best efforts people refuse to leave Google Search and use Bing. After all looking at it logically why will people leave Google and go to Bing. They have not come up with anything new and they don't have a new killer App that brings something new to search. If anything they have a very restricted search which cannot be called search at all. Basically they have this big directory with some sites already added and when you search Bing all you get is results from these few sites. which means that Bing is not a search engine but just a directory. A search engine needs to have intelligence. So Bing fails when it comes to innovation. For those who still like to use it it will be available on the iPhone 4. According to analyt...
