Possibly the best discussion on the iPhone Antenna controversary.
Coyote Tracks – The Emperor’s New Antenna.
  | Engadget is reporting that they are starting to hear a few reports of the dreaded yellow spots disappearing from the iPhone 4′s display after a day or so of use. Interestingly, someone posting on the AppleInsider forums seems to know why: Apple is using a bonding agent called Organofunctional Silane Z-6011 to bond the [...] Sussex police are creating a number of iPhone apps for the public, including one to renew your gun license. Unsurprisingly, the plan has some anti-gun groups upset. Lyn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder and Aggression (MAMAA), said, ‘This isn’t suitable, especially in light of what happened in Cumbria. We’ve got to be extra careful [...] The original iPhone launched with a fixed-focus lens and a paltry (even for 2007) 2 megapixel sensor. The camera didnt get any improvements with the iPhone 3G, but gained another million pixels, autofocus, and a ‘tap-to-focus’ system—which links the focus control and autoexposure system to a specific point in the image—with the iPhone 3GS. [...] World of Apple has a summary about the Fourth Generation iPhone Leak. Overall, the only surprising item is the resolution of the screen, it’s huge, at 960×460. But the imrpvoed battery, front facing video camera, camera flash, etc…. That’s been pretty much expected for a while, and are just evolutionary improvements… There was also the charge of hypocrisy; if Steve Jobs truly hates DRM so much and wanted it gone from iTunes Store music, why does he continue to lather it onto all video content from Apple, and why did he voluntarily add it to iPhone [...] ArsTechnica had a small tidbit regarding iPhone 3.2 OS (iPad only). Thankfully, Apple has addressed this in the iPad-only iPhone OS 3.2. The documentation for the SDKindicates that it uses a “shared folder” that any iPad application can read and write. This shared folder will also mount as a disk whenever an iPad is [...] Apple today introduced the iPad. The 0.5′-thick tablet weighs 1.5 lbs. and touts a 9.6′ LCD (IPN) display. It features built-in Bluetooth and 802.11n connectivity, accelerometer, and compass and will be available in sizes from 16GB to 64GB. It uses a proprietary 1GHz Apple processor; the battery is purported to feature up to 10 [...] The iPhone is a fully fledged computer in it’s right, but how does it compare against “real” computers? The Key components in the original iPhone are: ARM1176JZF with TrustZone, with a clock at perhaps 600 MHz ARM Intelligent Energy Manager 16-kbyte/16-kbyte code/data cache Vector floating point coprocessor ARM Jazelle-enabled for embedded-Java execution SIMD high [...] Let me get this straight…? Apple is evil, because anyone can release software for it, but it has to go through a vetting (approval) process. An approval process that may reject the application, but you can then resubmit, etc… But the iPhone is a relatively open system, one where web applications require no approval, and you can literally use any web site, or web page you want… But it’s a platform that Apple has not shown the inclination to just randomly force you to use THEIR MANDATED web search engine.
