Schumer pens open letter to Steve Jobs Posted: July 15th, 2010 12:58 PM ET
From CNN's Jeff Simon
(CNN) - New York Sen. Charles Schumer on Thursday called Apple's suggestions for remedying a widespread issue with the iPhone 4 "insufficient" and urged the company to come clean about a problem that has many iPhone 4 customers up in arms. Schumer made the comment in an open letter written to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
"I ask that Apple provide iPhone 4 customers with a clearly written explanation of the cause of the reception problem and make a public commitment to remedy it free-of-charge," Schumer writes in the letter, obtained by CNN. "The solutions offered to date by Apple for dealing with the so-called 'death grip' malfunction such as holding the device differently, or buying a cover for it seem to be insufficient."
"While I commend Apple's innovative approach to mobile technology and appreciate its service to millions of iPhone users nationwide, I believe it is incumbent upon Apple to address this flaw in a transparent manner," Schumer wrote.

I can’t remember.
But we should be so lucky. :)
Rush talked about this on his show this morning. He also said he loves Apple products and he repeatedly has praised them but they would not advertise on his show. He assumed for political reasons.
Soros must want to buy Apple on the cheap, like he did Indy Mac.
Chuckles is just the empty automaton that executes the order.
Looks like Apple will have a solution out by the end of the week, while retaining very high ratings.
Congress, however, has ratings in the toilet and has not fixed anything for decades.
Plank, speck, Schumer?
That would be Kip Chalmers...
I think that Apple won’t advertise on Rush is because Rush already does it for free when he talks about it. Why should Apple pay him?
Apple might have issues with the iPhone 4 that they'll need to resolve, but I don't need some camera-hogging Commie in Washington DC getting into the mix.
You want to solve a problem Charlie? Start slashing the size of our bloated Government. Then, when you have spare time, you can offer your sage advice to American Corporations...clown.
Remember what happened at the stock market the last time Chuckie Chicken Neck wrote a letter?
Jobs should tell Chuckie to "bite me!"
My reply would be this:
Chuck-off Senator.
Dear Senator Schumer,
FU, asshat! It is “incumbent” upon YOU to remember the limitations imposed upon you by the US Constitution. This is none of your d@mned business as a Senator, and you can KMA!
Respectfully,
Steve Jobs
Does everyone realize just how different things would be now if the President of General Motors had told Obam-bam to kiss his butt when Obam-bam tried to fire him?
Yes! Thank you! Is Chuck scheduled to take any train trips anytime soon?

“Dear Steve, after reviewing your credit report...”

"I believe it is incumbent upon Apple to address this flaw in a transparent manner," Schumer wrote.I believe it is incumbent upon Apple to refund the money of anyone who finds it unfit to the service for which Apple sold it. That is a transaction which relatively few seem to wish to exercise. The question of how many make that choice - or rather, of how many more people do not make that choice than do - is vital to Apple. Apple certainly will take whatever practicable action it legally can to maximize that number, whether a someone who undoubtedly has no idea what a decibel is or how that relates to the issue at hand "demands" it or not.
By observation of discussion threads here and elsewhere, I'd estimate that far more non-users of the iPhone 4 are "up in arms" than are actual owners and users of the iPhone4.
Reminds me of the NYT and Abu Ghraib: "If we shout hard enough and long enough, we can make folks believe that panties on the head are the equivalent of beheading."
IOW, propaganda warfare...
