We talk all about: “The iPhone 4′s antenna problems continue to be a major tech story, but the debate has changed. Before Apple held the last-minute press conference on Friday, pundits and analysts debated how Apple would respond. That there was a major problem with the iPhone 4′s antenna to begin with was a foregone conclusion.
On stage, Jobs clouded the issue. He showed evidence that iPhone 4 customers are happier than ever (return rates are lower for iPhone 4 than they were for iPhone 3GS). He pointed a finger at other phones for having the same issues, and he blamed the tech press for blowing the issue out of proportion. Now, the debate lies in whether Jobs is right.” More here and here.

Hey Eric! You talk about the bumper case was my call exactly last week, and it doesn’t work well with the universal dock without an adapter.
Hey Eric,
Re: Fart Battles
Why is it stupid if it’s different than all the other fart apps? And you guys are laughing about it? Isn’t that the point? Immature, sure…but stupid? I disagree.
Also, are you guys so sloppy that you review apps on the air without actually downloading and looking at them? That’s weak. Why don’t you check it out first – it’s actually pretty damn funny.
Scott, Love all of your podcasts!
You kind of made it sound like the case deal was something apple did out of the goodness of their hearts. I don’t think this is an “apple is really taking care of us.” I believe the reason they did it is to appease the class action lawsuit they are in. It was upgraded to a class action a couple weeks ago.
Eric: What case did you get? I couldn’t find it online based on your description at 8:15. I have the Apple Bumper case and am interested in yours.
