You actually do not know about cars and yes I will take a cavalier instead of Corolla any day. In fact, I had a Cavalier and it drove for over 180k miles ..Did you ever see how cheap Japanese cars look ?
Got a tip for us?

The letter is valid.
1) Apple needs to be held Accountable. And that goes to every naysayer in this thread who writes something as silly as "just return it if you don't like it." We all appreciate your "novel" idea. But this isn't about returning the phone or not - it's about Apple taking RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for a product they released
2) Who cares if the press conference was already called. The Senator is going on record as saying that Apple needs to address this issue. As of today, NO ONE in the Public Domain knows what will or won't be covered in that conference. The Senator is giving a blow-by-blow request on what he feels needs to be accomplished. It's great timing. It's the last ditch effort to appeal to Apple that whatever they have planned tomorrow to include some/all of his requests.

I hope people keep piling on, then maybe apple will give some of this arrogant crap a rest. Also nothing wrong with putting even more pressure on apple to be transparent, the more people are expecting apple to give a legit explanation and fix, the more outrage there will be if they don't, so it forces apples hand even more.
Oh yeah, this is finally getting resolved now because Mr. Schumer is on the case! Jeezus...when does Barney Frank weigh in? Madame Speaker? Mr. Reid?
+1
Steve Jobs needs to stop being so arrogant and admit that there is something wrong with the iPhone 4 instead of telling people that "it is not an issue" and to hold the phone in a particular way.
I guess since Shumer, Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the democrats have no clue what to do about creating jobs, they might as well focus in on cell phones instead. Perhaps they can pass an iPhone stimulus bill.
thats right. i know nothing about cars. you win. congrats.
here's a cookie.
Damn that's a good lookin' cookie....where do I get one of those? Or a dozen?
...and it begins.....
Thats ok, it will all end in November of 2012, and it starts in November of this year.
Clearly a junior staffer in Mr. Schumer's office bought an iPhone and is upset about the reception, so he wrote a letter and asked his boss to sign it.
So in other words, yes people in NY are this pathetic. Maybe if this is such a big deal in NY the people need to stand up for themselves and speak with their wallet. Long return lines at Apple stores will certainly do a better job of getting the message across. This isn't something you go whining to your senator about, grow a backbone and walk over to the Apple store and say it doesn't work and I want my money back simple as that. This isn't remotely a consumer protection issue.
Dollars to donuts one of his staffers is probably the one with the problem and wrote the letter, which he signed like any good senator (of any party) in trying to make the little people think they care.
At least the basic analysis is correct and the letter calls them out for trying to claim the bars are the problem and not hardware. It could have been worse.
Some staffer who's been doing the grip of death too much in meetings got his boss to sign a letter he drafted. Either that or blatant publicity grab.
Either way it's hilarious and absurd.
I've had a couple of hard drives fail recently. I guess i should write my congressmen.

and someone sees my point that the OP doesn't.
don't know but they look bite size. maybe chop them up and throw them in ice cream
Awesome. Not nearly enough ego and argument here lately. Let's bicker about cars too.
Also, sorry to hear about the Cavalier.
Schumer can put his "boot on the neck" of Apple to get consumers a $30 bumper and people think he's a hero? Why do you think this was an OPEN letter and not a regular one?
He should be working on a 3 trillion dollar bumper for the US economy instead of being a publicity hound. Soon we will have Gloria Allred, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeffrey Feiger and the TelePrompTer In Chief all "fighting" on our behalf and for camera time!
