NEWS: Apple iPhone 4 available today amid early reports of hardware issues
.... The launch comes amid early reports of hardware issues, too.
According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog, several iPhone 4 owners are
experiencing small yellowing areas at the bottom of the screen that are
brown/yellow in color. This issue happened with the original Palm Pre
and was caused by slight overheating, although there aren't any reports
on what's causing it with the iPhone 4.
Engadget is also reporting that if you hold, or block the phone's left
corner, the iPhone 4's antenna can't correctly connect to the network,
and could drop calls. The left side is home to the device's GSM/UMTS
antenna. The site said that using Apple's bumper accessory alleviated
the problem.

In the Starbucks this morning there were two notebooks, one netbook, and
one iPad. The notebooks and netbook were all working comfortably. By
comparison the iPad clearly wasn't comfortable for the user. First he
sat holding it in his hands like a book. But that way he could only
swipe with his thumbs, no typing. He laid it down flat on the table to
type, but then had to lean forward uncomfortably to use it. I asked him
how he liked it. He said, "It's cool, but I still need to get the hang
of it." Or find a coffee place with tilted tables.

on a flight the other day, i sat next to someone with an ipad. he said
he loved it, but hates the iphone and the rest of apple's products. he
said he is very productive with it and apple definitely nailed it. he
uses it for a variety of tasks and occasionally uses his laptop for
when the ipad isn't ideal.
> iPad: An answer in search of a question.
nope. it's an answer to what a lot of people have been wanting, which
is why it's selling so well.

p.s. That you have to hold it in your hands to view it comfortably is a
huge issue (for me at least). And it's painful to watch people try to
"type" on the iPad laid flat, usually with just one or two slow fingers
on the virtual touch keyboard -- needs Swype -- in marked contrast to
people comfortably typing on real notebook and netbook keyboards with
properly angled displays.

there are many things an ipad does that do not require typing, but you
can't see that through your hatred.
of course when android tablets come out with tablets and touch
keyboards, the haters will be saying how amazing it is.
how about that new libretto, a netbook with a touchscreen on both top
and bottom, which means a touch keyboard? where's the criticism for
that?

I've noticed that too. The iPad is fine for anything that doesn't involve
typing. But trying to type on it is awkward unless it's placed on a stand
or you have it on your lap with your legs up. (One will probably see more
and more iPad users doing this, taking up an extra chair at coffee shops.)

Six of one, half dozen of the other- what you lose in typing convenience
on the iPad you make up with ease of "clicking," scrolling, and zooming
on a tablet vs. using the integrated track pad on a netbook.
Notebook/netbooks are primarily content creation devices, tablets are
primarily consumption oriented. I'll concede, however, the
netbook/notebook is less awkward at consuming than tablets are at creating,
making the netbook the more versatile device to use if you're limited to
a single device. They're all compromise devices, of course- users have
to decide what is most important to them, and what features to compromise
on. My biggest gripe with the iPad isn't the virtual keyboard or lack of
flash or whatever- it's the dependence on a singular "sync" PC for file
transfers and media sideloading. Any tablet I use will have to have an
accessable file system and the ability to transfer files via USB or
wireless without proprietary sync software like my netbook allows or it's
no deal. That's my personal Maginot Line in mobile computing and why I'm
still a WinMo user despite the antiquated and awkward UI. I certainly
won't use a tablet that's inherently less functional than my phone is!

The case that Apple sells tilts it to a comfortable typing position.

at the reflections of those bright lights in the ceiling blinding him so he
couldn't see the display.

Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics...
Problem solved. Great touchkit for under $100.....
They got touchkits for many other brands/models. They just plug in where
the camera unplugs and share its USB port, even giving you two extra USB
ports if you want to use them for other toys. The touchscreen sticks to
the original display with doublesided industrial-strength tape. Works
first class and requires only the slightest touch so with finger or stylus
touching the screen DOESN'T push the display back on its hinges. It's
almost too sensitive, some times. The 25-point calibration with the stylus
makes it extremely accurate from edge to edge, top to bottom all the way to
the ends of its range.
No soldering involved. It all just plugs in and uses about 8ma of current
off the 5V bus....less than the camera uses. Comes with drivers for
Windows, almost any flavor incl 7, OSX and many Linux flavors. Works great
with XPSP3 and Ubuntu 9 here....uses very little resources. It's always an
interesting conversation piece with other netbook owners. I've installed
over 30 of them for other people....(c;]
All the other pointing devices still function normally. Even the Samsung
NC10's multitouch pad still functions perfectly without interference from
the touchkit. My external Bluetooth mouse (Logitech) also is fully
functional with the touchkit. Choose any input device you like without
switching between any of them....
