Looks Like Steve Jobs Ready To “Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it.”

May be the sweat on the iPhone 4 is Steves!

Man, no one even seem to mind when we reported early about the iPhone 4 Antennae problems. At that point the No Clue meter was reading something around 600,000 or slightly more. But then over the weekend, it jumped to 1.7 million. I love my country! No matter what, if you are good, you can sell a turd and there will at least be a million to buy it.
We posted some videos, we and Steve Jobs both told how to hold it (Magically suspend the iPhone 4 in air", Apples own bumper solution or go get an Droid X, because Droid X vs iPhone, Droid X wins!. Or at least you can make calls with an Droid X!
But now there is a leaked /LEAKED email that Apple acknowledging the problem and that they are working on it, allegedly from Steve Jobs him self. But the fun part is that Mr Jobs seem to have said tot he user involved, "  “Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it.” ! I think Steve was in front of a mirror when he typed that email.
Steve responds once again:
You may be working from bad data. Not your fault. Stay tuned. We are working on it.

iPhone 4 Antenna - Signal Issue, Got A Bumper? Apples Solution

http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
As we reported earlier, more info on the iPhone 4 Antenna - signal issue is appearing, all over the web.
Some people seem to have got not our problem from apple;
Reader Joe called up Apple to ask about the reception issues, and they said...
Their answer? "Get a bumper" and "it's not their problem".
I told the CSR that if their solution is to buy a bumper, why aren't they giving them out for free? Again, she said not her problem.
Quite an infuriating call - while I sympathize with the verbal beat-down that many of the Apple CSRs will be getting over this problem, they need a better solution than to recommend fixing the problem with their own rubber cases...

Gizmodo has a running review of iPhone 4 impressions and the following comments are plucked off that post. May be one of the engineers have Signal Booster Business!
I am getting horrible reception with my new iPhone 4. Dropped calls in places I never got dropped calls before. Downshifting to Edge frequently also. WTF Apple!

If my phone is lying on my desk/couch/etc.., I have decent service in my house but when I pick the phone up with a full hand (palm + all fingers) my service drops quickly to "No Service". If I use two or three fingers & hold it near the top, I have at least 2 bars & I can use the phone to make calls...

Mixed bag here. I seem to get more bars in areas of my house where I didn't use to. On the other hand, I also seem to get less bars in other areas. Needs further testing for me to make a solid judgment.

In addition to that there are multitude of videos appearing on YouTube as well, selecting which one to post is a hassle itself.
