Users were complaining about the same exact problem in February, so why didn’t it explode across the media?

I think we all know the reason for that. Apple finally had its public moment of failure, however small it was, and the internets jumped at the chance. I’m willing to bet this entire thing does not happen if Apple didn’t go after Gizmodo for paying for the iPhone 4 prototype. Gizmodo, or more so, Jesus Diaz, has been the most vocal and vociferous of the tech blogs pointing out the antenna issues before anyone else decided it was a story. The shunned blog seemingly has a vendetta against Apple ever since their unpleasantness. Again, I think this is because nearly every blog post written by Jesus Diaz is made to scare people off from the iPhone 4.

It’s sad to say, but the damage has been done, I think, for the iPhone 4. I’m more than satisfied with the phone and have never had any issues so far. But the fact that nearly everyone that doesn’t have an iPhone 4 thinks there are enough issues preventing them from buying one are pretty troubling.

It’s the greatest phone on the market, but the perception is already cemented that this phone is overtly flawed.

I like a good play on words once in a while

Word Lens

Impressive iPhone App of the Day: After 2-1/2 years of development, Quest Visual has finally launched “Word Lens,” an iPhone app capable of translating signs in real-time.

QuestVisual founder Otavio Good explains:

It tries to find out what the letters are and then looks in the dictionary. Then it draws the words back on the screen in translation. The translation isn’t perfect, but it gets the point across.

This is fucking amazing!
