The iphone boondoggle just keeps getting worse (or better I suppose, depending on your perspective). Had a twofer today.

First, there was the press conference today. DSLReports.. er, reports that Mr. Jobs downplayed the antenna issues again, and claimed that it's a problem endemic to all smartphones. Huh?

But they're giving you a free case anyway, out of the goodness of their hearts. So that's something, I guess.

Apple Downplays Antenna Issue Using High-End Bullshit - Though hey, you get a free case if you shut up about it - dslreports.com

And what should I stumble across this evening, but another article, this one from The Register, stating that many iphone users (specifically the iphone 4 users, it seems) are having difficulties with the new 4.01 software update and are very upset about it.

iPhone customers lay into Apple after iOS 4.0.1 update fails to install ? The Register

To be clear, this is the update that was intended to fix the supposed software issue that Apple was claiming to be the problem in the first place.

No word from Apple yet regarding the software issues. I guess we'll see how that one develops.
