Apple has been taking a beating over problems with the antenna of the new iPhone, and it has been interesting to hear the reasons, the excuses, and the solutions regarding this problem.
The most recent (and our favorite) way to solve the issue involves something dear to my heart-gaffers tape. It seems that much of the problem caused by how you hold the new iPhone can be solved by putting a small piece of gaffers tape over the part of the external antenna where you might normally touch the phone. This keeps your hand from interfering with the antenna transmission. (CBS News video of this solution)
Naturally, we are intrigued by the fashion statement that your choice of gaffers tape to stick on your new $300.00 smart phone would make. Pink for Pink. Neon green for Al Green, and, of course, black for Steve Jobs.
I was pretty excited about this potential new market, until I realized that a single roll of gaffers tape would be enough to handle every iPhone in North America.
