you're no antenna engineer, yet you have diagnosed the problem and have
a solution before actual antenna engineers have? how do you explain
that?

actually it shows how hypocritical people are. if apple does it, it's
bad, but when someone else does it, nobody cares. why isn't it a
problem when nokia or sanyo phones tell you how to hold them properly?

nope. android is gaining momentum but apple still has a much larger
market share based on recent surveys. june & july numbers are not out
yet. apple sold 2 million iphone 4s in a couple of days, versus a
couple of weeks for android to do that.

blackberry is faltering. android probably will overtake apple in unit
sales but so what? there's room for more than one player. 

nikon and canon both share the majority of camera sales. neither one is
on the verge of disappearing.

but where a hand covers it. there are always tradeoffs.
