Apple Ad "Two is better than one"

[jav6454]

That was the public excuse that Steve Jobs brought up at the AntennaGate conference to help try to explain iPhone 4 reception problems.

But while the timeline for new towers might be valid, it's not really pertinent:

There's no need to add new towers in cities like San Francisco. Third parties already own towers at every prime location, and lease them out.

Yet those locations may well not be optimal for AT&T's network. So AT&T would still have to go through channels to get new towers up... and Steve doesn't normally defend idiocy. AT&T can do better, much better. Right now, New Orleans went from 1.6Mb/s down to 3-4Mb/s down average; if AT&T can do that here, why not elsewhere?

We have a winner...?

Now Apple should make an ad in which both the AT&T and Verizon iPhone are on a call and trying to load maps at the same time...FAIL

We have a winner!

Ever been to Old Forge, New York in the middle of the Adirondack mountains? Good luck getting a signal from AT&T, let alone doing two things at once. Verizon on the other hand has near-full signal...

Even though it reminds me of the Death Star, AT&T's logo is better. Verizon's logo probably makes Jobs toss and turn at night.

LOL too bad you can do all of that while talking on the phone with one and not the other... CDMA IS ****!!!!

do you know how many times a day a person is on the phone and has to check either the internet, their email or google maps for directions at the same time? its called a smart phone for a reason... stop puting it down to just a Ipod Touch.

Best to skip the add where you can check an email or look something up in safari while on a call

Ya, I thought at first that it might be a Verizon commercial showing one guy having to use two iPhones to accomplish all that at the same time!

I think we've heard this and the Verizon has a better network argument enough. Both networks have different pros and cons for everyone.

Both sides need to drop it and move on with their lives. Seriously.

Ok, I like the ad but I call fowl on Facetime being in the ad.

AT&T does not allow Facetime on its network. It's total BS to show it in an ad that's about their network and to make it worse they show Facetime immediately before lowering the phone to show the AT&T logo behind the phone.[/I]

The ad is about the phone.

Sliding Dock

At one point, the dock slides over, how do you use this? Is it only for iPhone 4?

Comment = four is better than two.

Come on, Apple! Two down, two to go!
