Wi-Fi network saturated. AT&T 3G is no help either (big surprise - MDN ed.)


Comment on another blog:

Steve asked someone else on stage for suggestions.

Someone in the audience yelled: "Try Verizon!"

Later in the presentation, they announced they had counted 570 WiFi devices in the room, and told everyone to turn them off. After that, the demo went fine.

I loved the AT&T epic fail moment.

Well, that just changed the game for phones again. The iPhone got a couple technologies already out there (noise cancelling mic), but introduced a whole bunch that will have the other manufacturers scrambling to copy.

The developers will also love the ads. I never click on a Droid ad exactly because it’s going to take me out of the program to a web site. Apple’s method will make a lot of developers a lot more money.

And just the other day I was wishing my Droid could edit video, even simple cropping (I couldn’t find an app for that either) would have sufficed. Of course, now the iPhone can, with full-blown iMovie.

Read the whole log.

You will be able to purchase an iPhone 4 6 months after you bought your previous iPhone -- if it was an iPhone.

Dunno what happens if you bought another phone.

Yeah, I’m almost sorry I got mine in January, too. Still, the last 4+ months have been fun, and my 3GS isn’t going to get any worse; in fact, iOS4 should bring improvements even on the older hardware.

I may have misinterpreted. Another blogs says: "up to 6 months of early eligibility".

That may mean shortening a 24-month contract to 18 months. However, AT&T already allows you to upgrade after 21 months.

Why would they not set up their own wireless and dedicated line for the demo? I guess Google had similar problems recently...how can you let that happen...

Yes. Although I waited that long as I wanted the video. Had I known I would certainly have waited, but as you said the iOS4 should bring some improvements as well. I haven’t read the whole article yet, so maybe there is some other alternative. I would just hate to spend a bunch more dough and have them improve once again on the iOS4 in six months. Well you know the story—bought it yesterday and today is a new technological hardware/software upgrade and then in a month and then in six months . . . never really catch to the newest for long. But hey I would rather that than being stuck in non innovation times.

I think it was an overloaded Wi-Fi network fail moment.

I was pretty stoked that they are going to roll out the new OS even for my 3g version.

Although I might buy the new phone regardless. But not on opening day. Not going to participate in fanboy tummy stick action.

I'm sure they did.

But Wi-Fi is an unlicensed band, and all of those devices were sharing a relatively small amount of bandwidth. So, their own AP would have been competing with everyone else.

That was a WiFi issue, not AT&T. But it was funny when someone in the audience shouted, "Try Verizon."
