You’ve heard about the yellow screen splotches and the wonky antenna that requires you to hold the new iPhone just right.
But now a new issue is coming to light: a faulty camera system that not only affects your ability to take pictures, it can foil your attempts to use FaceTime, the video chat feature that is the iPhone 4’s top talking point.
(Excerpt) Read more at siliconbeat.com ...
Oh, and if you could read the chart, you would see it lists:
APPLE
All Others: 77
Cellular Telephones (implicit Apple): 76
Nokia/Samsung/Motorola below
Guess what - the Cellular Telephones of Apple are about the same as the others. That’s what the table shows. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I’ll check it out tomorrow. :)
There’s always intelliscreen anyway. Plus, someone just released a jailbreak app that makes flash available, so jailbreaking is a must anyways. Gotta have Myfi also. No way in hell I’m paying those thieves at AT&T another $20 a month to tether my laptop once in a blue moon.

Haven't done that yet...but must say I am tempted. There is tethering now but like you say for another 20 bucks...
The make an adapter that will let you change the sim, $4.99. It will even show you how to cut down the bigger sim, and then put it back in the older phone.
Your link is NOT evidence of that. Your claim is therefor false, in that one cannot draw that inference from those data. Again, you misrepresent the facts.
It is a decision that was made. Backwards compatibility is not a good thing in and of itself. The desire to be all things to all customers for all time means that you can never move beyond the weight of baggage you have accumulated over the years that prevent you from improvement. To kowtow to the Luddites who refuse to move their applications forward assures they do not have to. I have clients whose major vertical solution software is so imbedded in DOS that it's uses WORDSTAR as it's default word processor. Only about 20% of that app has been ported to a Windows UI and every other screen one is forced to drop the mouse and use key strokes to navigate until the next Windows screen suddenly appears and the keystrokes no longer work and one has to return to using the mouse. Just this year, the publisher came up with a $500 add on that allows the user to replace the Wordstar documents with MS Word documents by default... Except on those DOS centric pages... Where you still have to use the Wordstar versions. Any year now, the fully Windows compliant version will be announced...
Nothing of "hate" about it, Puget. What is there is a lot about criticism of your "factoids," where you blithely make up conclusions that don't fit the evidence. You just posted a chart from which you claim certain "facts" were plainly evident. Had you taken any of those classes I mentioned, you would know that your posted chart is not capable of providing the data you are claiming you can derive from it, because you would have received the education in critical thinking, logic, and statistics to know better than to make such an ignorant claim as that. Your claims make it self evident you don't have that education. Hence, my conclusion.
Are Apple techs smarter than, say, you - who builds your own PCs and keeps them all running? They're probably not even smarter than me, who has only done it once, with interactive coaching. They do have one edge on us, in that they only deal with Apple products, and they deal with them all day and every day. And they also have the constraint of not having an easy "out" of blaming the software if the system doesn't work. If the system doesn't work, it's an Apple problem whether it is hardware or software; the distinction is moot. The software and hardware were specifically built for each other.There is such a thing as advertising publicly things which you actually intend to convince your own employees of. Suppose you are a "Brand A" gas station attendant. "Brand A" executives want you to be friendly, courteous, and efficient because the public will be more likely to bring their custom to "Brand A" gas stations. So they try to encourage and exhort you to exert yourself to make a good impression on the public. But, people being people, that only goes so far, and they want to do more to get you to shake a leg when customers come calling.They know that you have a radio playing in your station listening to your favorite baseball team's game. What effect does it have on you if the radio says that "Brand X attendants are polite, helpful, and efficient at attending to the needs of you and your car"? It gives you a positive reputation to live up to, and you will have at least some tendency to try to live up to it when the next car pulls in. Hopefully you will make a good impression, and will like that feeling and continue to do a better job when the next car comes in, and so forth.
I as a customer happen to know that you are like every other schlub who comes in off the street and needs a job, neither more not less, and that the only reason Brand A advertises how good and helpful you are is to try to motivate you. I leave it to others to be offended at the manipulation - I just hope that it works!
Why should I object when Apple calls their techs "geniuses?" All it does is put them on the spot to come up with the solution to my problem!I may not be a certified "genius," but I'm smart enough not to object when someone does something which I know will tend to produce better service for me!
See? There's that inherent lack of critical thinking. "Implicit" is not "explicit" and an aggregate average score can include outliers that are many sigmas outside the norms on either side of the mean, without disturbing that average. That's what a bell curve is all about. One cannot extract specific data from combined generic data, which is what that "76" number is... an average of the ratings all phones not listed by name. Some, such as a fictitious joe's Android phone might have a consumer satisfaction rating as low as 56, while Apple's iPhone may have a consumer rating as high as 96 ( the number Consumers Reports awarded the iPhone), with all the rest clustered around the mean of 76... and still, when all those consumer satisfaction ratings are summed and divided by the number of phones in the "all others cellular (implicit Apple) phones" category, the average rating is reported as "76" and conveys no detailed information about ANY MEMBERS OF THAT SET.
Guess what - the Cellular Telephones of Apple are about the same as the others. That’s what the table shows. Sorry to burst your bubble.
If YOU think that chart shows that you are ill informed and a poor engineer.
Ex Toyota guys are now working for Apple.
While your behavior isn't trollish, you have an overall pattern of attack on Apple. I informed you of several very big problems with the EVO 4G that you apparently greatly admire. These were serious widespread problems, including the touch screen not working due to bad grounding. You didn't see fit to post entire threads of any of those. Biased motive is obvious.
BTW, Android 2.0 had some serious problems too, including not being able to handle seven-digit phone numbers correctly (what, Page is going to tell you "Dial the whole ten digits"?). And of course the first release shouldn't have been released, it was so bad.
And don't get me going on your own Windows Mobile.
You are correcting an argument that is mainly being put forth by the Mac haters themselves. Meanwhile, we tell you over and over that no computer system is completely secure.
They why are approximately 92% of desktop computers worldwide running a windows OS?
Market inertia, Compaq reverse-engineering, backwards compatibility, monopoly practices. The quality of Windows has just about nothing to do with the marketshare.
74% of all servers on the internet run a windows OS.
Pricing, compatibility with desktop (also a monopoly issue).
These guys are Android shills. Even the smallest uncorroborated issues are getting repeated ad nauseum by these guys... Clearly they are out to propel Anti-Apple FUD!
“Meanwhile, we tell you over and over that no computer system is completely secure.”
Source? Cause its sure not been posted by macbots. They only say go to mac and you never have to worry about it.
“The quality of Windows has just about nothing to do with the marketshare.”
And yet they have it. You may not like it, but it certainly is about their marketing and their products.
Isn't that like saying a BMW leads the Ford Fiesta by a large margin? I was in Best Buy last week and the cheapest Apple notebook type computer was about 4 times as expensive as the cheapest PC notebook. Considering the price difference, shouldn't the Apple have a significantly better product and hence much higher consumer satisfaction?
I just don't get the comparison. It appears like people are comparing apples to oranges.
No it applies equally to trolls like yourself.

You have been told many times. I am tired of digging up posts for you guys. The last time I did the troll got slapped in the face with the link and couldn't give an honest apology for lying about me, so even that satisfaction isn't worth the time anymore. But I'm sure Swordmaker would be glad to tell you yet again that no computer system is perfectly secure.
Now I'm not discounting that some idiot, somewhere, may have said Macs/iPhones can't be hacked. We have Droid/Windows trolls here saying provably, factually false things too. But you never heard it from us regulars here.
The idiot is RachelFaith, and Swordmaker refuses to acknowledge the insanity of her claim, just insists it's never happened in the wild (thus implying it cannot happen). Just FYI...;)
Smug attitude is not necessary here. Your personal digs also are not necessary. The member you continue to slam has never denied when there was a REAL issue, and in fact has posted in the past when there was an actual problem, though generally doing the right thing by giving more information than just they hyperbole that always come from folks who want to hyperinflate all things Apple (both good and bad).
In this case, I will step up to the plate - while I only have the older iPhone 3G, I noticed immediately when I updated to iOs4 that the camera launches SLOW - 7-10 seconds. It also sometimes is slow to react to the shutter release tap. But the biggest problem for me is the slow camera app launch which almost makes the camera useless for 75% of the reason I like having a camera in my phone - unplanned photos.
I suspect a bug in the app itself is the primary problem (still technically a driver involved). Again, I would expect Apple to resolve this in an update - there is supposedly already one in the works for some other issues (including the signal strength mis-reading reading).
