From: John Navas on
Whether or not Steve Jobs intentionally deceived, inveigled and
obfuscated is irrelevant. Antennagate - in all its embarrassing and
over-hyped glory - clearly marks the end of a golden era for Apple.

Yes, unrepentant fanbois will undoubtedly continue to worship at the
altar of Saint Steven Jobs and pay homage to Club Cupertino.

But the rest of the world is likely to think twice before purchasing
another shiny Apple product before it has been properly tested and
reviewed.

Indeed, as analyst Jack E. Gold told TG Daily, Apple "needs to do
better" by honestly acknowledging problems, issues and glitches when
they are first reported. ?

"While the majority of iPhone 4 users seem to be [pleased] with their
devices, that is no excuse for Apple to have obfuscated the antenna
problems that created issues for users particularly in weak signal
areas," explained Gold.

"Apple claims to be much better than everyone else in the industry and
the only one to do it the right way. Sorry, Steve, but you can't have it
both ways. Yes, all phones in weak signal areas have issues to a greater
or lesser extent. But they don't claim to be perfect and the best phone
ever invented."

According to Gold, the use of statistics - when "spun" differently -
indicate that the iPhone 4 actually does cause significant degradation
in calling and substantially increases dropped calls.

No, I don't. I have no tolerance for either of you.
