Antennagate solved
Kit Eaton at Fast Company (http://www.fastcompany.com/user/148610), writes a couple of good articles on Apple announcement of giving refunds or cases to iPhone 4G buyers in order to solve antenna problem and on Apple $100 Million sound testing facility (full articles at http://www.fastcompany.com/1670989/antennagate-apple-explains-all-at-its-iphone-4-press-event and at http://www.fastcompany.com/1671022/apple-anechoic-chamber-science-rf-testing).
Se my comments on what Kit reports:
- Smartphones aren’t perfect, and neither is Apple. True, but this problem is a macroscopic one, because phones are made for calling.
- AppleCare hasn’t been as slammed with complaint calls. Could be, but is mainly because users are not, generally speaking, using the phone so much and for mission critical things (i.e. if you loose a call, you make it another time and say bad words to carriers, not to phone makers…)
- There was an algorithmic error in the iPhone software [...]. Again is not the problem it self, is how much it is big
- The antenna isn’t perfect, and it actually does drop slightly more calls than the 3GS does, on average. Yes, but is not a justification, otherwise Mr. Job’s would not have made this press conference.
- Because some users have reported bumper cases help, Apple is giving them away for free. Helps in not getting the calls dropped, but is not enough, since when you spend all that money for a phone you don’t want to use a work around.
- Apple’s also offering a full refund to unsatisfied customers who return undamaged iPhone 4s. That’s better

Thank you 3 thousand times
Well today I went over 3000 accesses to my site. And I would like to thank all those that went through my posts.
I know that this is something that bigger blogs do in an hour instead than in a year or so.
But for me is a satisfaction, since I write for no more than half an hour a day (when I can).
So…per aspera ad astra!
P.S. next milestone: 5.000 accesses

Android in a box
Matthew Guay at How to Geek writes a good tutorial on how to install Android SDK and hence have a working Android emulator on your PC (full article at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21831/how-to-test-drive-google-android-on-your-pc-without-buying-a-phone/).
Worth a look if you don’t know which OS to choose or if you plan to develop applications.
