I found it interesting that people found Jobs' "blame-shifting" of the antenna problems to other competitors very odd. His whole point was that, while the iPhone 4 may have a design flaw in the sense that it's very easy to attenuate the signal, all phones no matter the "design flaw" suffer from this to some sort of degree.
I made this video with a co-worker who owns the phone being shown. This is a "dumb"phone with no external antenna. Yet it is very easy to make it drop 3-4 bars.
So whether you like or dislike Apple, wanting them to admit to a "design flaw" is like asking quite absurd, considering their statements of improved signal in places with none at all.
NOTE: Yes, I'm aware that people who have perfect service with their 3GS have no service or very little with the iPhone 4 in the same spot. But there are a number of factors; none of which I can name since I'm no expert, just experimenting; that affect that. Overall, it seems like between Apple's tests, their new bar display formula, and the support of owners who claim to receive much better reception in places with little or none before, the antenna design is great as long as the "spot" isn't covered or touched.
Anyway, just watch the video.
