This is Apple’s official legal response to a lawsuit regarding false iPhone advertisement and misleading customers by saying ”twice as fast for half the price” compared with the original handset, when reality is, it sucks for many people and they’re disappointed.
“Some parts of Apple’s 32-point rebuttal say that the company was being truthful. But one paragraph says, in effect, that anyone who believes what the company says in its ads is a fool”
SourceWell, so much for what they call Jesus Phone. It was all a big lie after all.

Just in case you were looking the other way, I thought of sharing this piece of news I read. A recently discovered SERIOUS security hole in the iPhone software would allow, according to the news source, access to your address book, e-mail, text and voice messages. Regardless of how many people actually DO lock their phones, the simplicity of the hack is what concerns me most:
1- Click Emergency Call Button
2- Double Click Home Button
Favorites menu shows up! I am not an iPhone owner, but no one on Engadget seems to be denying it. One guy did suggest a temporarily workaround till a fix is released for it:
“This is an issue with 2.0.1 as well. Re configure the home button double tap to go to the home screen and you will be fine till apple fixes this. — Sent from my handheld device” JacindaQeneus
UPDATE: If the issue wasn’t serious, I guess we won’t be hearing Apple already working on a fix for it for next software update.

I always tend to think of iPhone as a cool promising beta product, and with iPhone 3G, it turned out to be no difference.
More and more iPhone 3G customers are getting frustrated and some returning their (holy) iPhones for their money because of bad signals and drop calls. The problem seems to be happening when a person moves from 3G network to a lower speed network, possibly a software problem, and some point at the Infineon chip, which is also used in Samsung phones without any problems according to the chip manufacturer.
When I was at a telecom company, and we were introducing the 3G network, such problems happened with Nokia phones. But who’s fault is it now, and can it be fixed with a software patch. That is something I would suggest waiting for before buying the new iPhone.
