From: RichA on 25 Jun 2010 14:39 (CNN) -- Hours after its iPhone 4 went on sale to excited crowds Thursday, Apple found itself responding to complaints that holding the phone by its metal edge causes mobile reception to suffer. The company's response, in a nutshell? You're holding it wrong. "Just avoid holding it in that way," Apple CEO Steve Jobs wrote in an e-mail that was making the rounds on the Web on Friday morning. An official statement from Apple expanded in less pointed language than Jobs, who is known to occasionally answer e-mails from customers himself. "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas," Apple said in a written statement.

What on Earth is "pointed" about that? Now, if he'd told them to stop being so stupid and hold it in the approved Apple way, that might be a touch blunt. Hmmm... a phone with a metal part case that suffers reception problems when the case is touched. Clever stuff.
