The Internet Web Blogs

As Apple attempts to control the press on their iPhone4 problems, I cannot help but wonder what all the fuss is about. As I said earlier on this blog the iPhone itself, even with the flaws it is the best phone Apple has made. It has a much better camera, better screen resolution, faster CPU, and many other enhancements.

I have read such things as iPhone recalls, law suits, and other outrageous claims over this reception problem. I still say it is the best iPhone for making calls they have made. Flaws or not, it is simply the best product on the market today. I am beginning to wonder is a world of press releases and shocking news, if these publications just do not have much to talk about and simply have jumped on the iPhone bashing band wagon to get another article on Google.

In any case today’s press conference from Apple should be interesting, and I look forward to seeing how Apple handles themselves under fire. Deserving of it or not. I assume there not going to try and tell everyone how to hold a cell phone again.

Well I have been watching those YouTube videos, Blog post, and news articles about just how flawed the iPhone4 is and I was not looking forward to setting up my wife’s new iPhone for her. She had pre ordered it and was bound and determined to give it a try before she believed all those stories. Someone at work had one and she said it work great for them, and appeared to be a lot faster. She also noted that there is no way she could be disconnected any more that what she was already on her iPhone 3G because of AT&T sorry service, so she wanted to give it a shot. She told me I could have it if she did not like it.

Well I got home to find the new iPhone lying on the counter, still in the box, and I figured it was time to put the new iPhone4 to the test. A test like no other was facing the iPhone4. The test of making my wife happy with new tech. It did have one think going for it. She was so frustrated with the old slow iPhone 3G that it could hardly do any worse.

I open the box to find a very sharp looking phone. I un-wrapped the phone and took in into my home office and read the brief activation instructions. Upgrade iTunes is about all it said. I upgraded iTunes, sure enough I needed an upgrade, and proceeded to backup her old phone. Made sure I had got all of her applications synced in the process. I noticed that there was a OS4 released for the phone. Having a iPhone 3Gs myself I made note of that.

Much to my surprise the phone not only had a new look, but it was fast. I mean really fast. Applications took no time to startup, and it took several hours to try out all the new features. Once I was convinced the phone was working correctly it was time to see if calling was going to be a bigger problem that it was on the iPhone 3G. The calling feature not only works great, but the reception was amazing. I am not sure what all the fussing is all about, but I can tell you the phone works great and all those dropped call there talking about. Well it works better that the 3G and 3Gs.

All in all, the only real problem I see with the new iPhone is the one all iPhones have, AT&T is the carrier. My wife loves the new iPhone and I guess I will have to get my own. I will not be suing Apple after all.

Want to do a high quality photo shoot, but don’t have the equipment to do the job right. That is no problem. Have a look at this professional photo shoot done with a standard iPhone, and see theses amazing results. So even said it was the best photos he had ever taken. This proves it is not about the equipment.

Google has decided to completely open up there Android application development. Instructing a new beta program that will give everyone access to development tools that used the very successful visual programming model, in hopes that applications can be created with very little programming from the application developer. These applications will have access to even the hardware elements themselves, making for a very interesting development environment for non techie developers, with little programming experience. It should be an interesting beta program. This could work and we could see some amazing applications in the future. We will see.

Well with that headline making the news I can not help but wonder if I lost my iPhone in a bar, and it ended up being sold for whatever reason, if the police would go to the same lengths to recover my lost phone. Heck, I needed a police report for insurance one time for my stolen phone, in a bar, and they did not even want to fill out a report on my phone for me, and I even knew who stole it. They never lifted a finger to recover my lost phone.

I know it is a prototype, but come on. How much tax payer’s money has been spent recovering a phone? It is not like it is not going to be released in a few months and millions of people will have access to one. It not full of state secrets or anything, it is a freaking phone and a reporter ended up with it.  So what! Next time Apple may more careful because no matter how much money you have, and how many lawyers you know, and how many connections in the police department you may have,  it is pretty much a finders …. keepers … kind of world. Not matter how wrong that may be….

It sound to me like Apple should be more careful to whom they trust the prototype phones too.  It also sound like the police and all the government agencies involved in this massive man hunt and threading talk about stolen property charges and the like should go out and catch some real crooks, robbers and downright law breakers. I am not saying what the unmentioned blogger did was right. I am just saying there is a lot more higher priority crime fighting to do than chase down Apple’s phone that was lost.  

“Chen posted his account of Friday’s event on Gizmodo and said that when he arrived home in Fremont, Calif. at 9:45pm, police were already in his home. They had broken the door to gain entrance and when Chen got home, police made him put his hands on his head and submit to a search to ensure that he did not have any weapons.”

We know how dangerous those PC Tech bloggers can be. Search warrens, arrest, treating felony charges, and a whole department tied up over a freaking phone.

Give me a break and Apple next time you what to trust a prototype phone to someone that will not leave in it a freaking bar. Contact me and I will test for you, or get you in contact with a few trusts worthy people that will not leave it in a freaking bar.
