Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones
blackbearnh wrote in with a story that's not really about the iPhone, but if your office speakerphones beep like mine does, read on: "If you own an iPhone, you may have noticed that it has a distinct and very annoying effect on clock radios, computer speakers, car radios, and just about anything else with a speaker. The folks at O'Reilly Media aren't immune, so they set out to discover just what is it about iPhones that makes them such bad RF citizens. The iPhones aren't the only bad apples in the cell phone basket and there's not much you can do about the problem. We're really in an interesting time in that there has never been so many high-powered personal transmitters just wandering loose in the world."
Wow, you too are some sort of Hi Fi speaker then. One that has achieved at least enough sentinence to post on Slashdot. Well done, Sir, er, entity. On behalf of all those poor dumb speaker entities throughout the world you should not slack in your crusade.
