iPhone 4 News Roundup

We have a slew of iPhone 4-related stories this morning, so I'm lumping them together for easier consumption/ignoring, depending on your personal feelings on the subject. Here is a blog entry proclaiming that iOS 4 multitasking sucks and why. Here is a sketchy summary of privacy violations by Apple and AT&T — apparently they are reporting back jailbroken phones. Skunkpost has a story about the lines and sales of the new phone. But the big news of the morning is the reception problems that apparently only affect people who hold the phone in their left hands.

Honest inquiry here: The computer in some cars artificially limits the speed of the car - if you found out that was true in a car you liked would you feel the same way about it as the iPhone?

You are wrapped up in all the FUD. Take a step back, this isn't life or death and buying a phone doesn't necessarily mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

I never said it did mean anything. I have an option when it comes to which phone I buy, and I've chosen to buy a phone that meets my requirements and needs, the primary one being that I'm not restricted in what can or can't be installed on my phone. Sorry for paying attention to what I'm buying :p

Having principals is great, but you're abstaining from buying won't change anyone else's opinions, nor will it affect Apple's.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people who are aware of the walled garden and don't care...it just isn't for me, personally.

Don't waste your time. There is no way you are going to successfully defend Apple's practices to me. You don't have a problem with their walled garden? That is totally fine with me. You want to purchase and use their walled products? Again, totally fine with me...you won't hear me telling you not to, nor will you ever see me trying to convince you to use Android. Apple obviously provides a service that you enjoy, and that's awesome.

That being said, don't try to convince me that my personal opinion is wrong when Apple is clearly doing something that I personally disagree with, ok?
