Rather than continuing to communicate only with Steve Jobs's contradictory, condescending emails, Apple has called a short-notice press conference to address the growing problem that is the iPhone 4's faulty antenna design. Will there be a recall? Free bumper cases? Follow along with one of many liveblogs (we liked Ars Technica and GDGT last time) and check back here for analysis after.
Update: Apple kinda sorta admitted there is a problem, and will pay for an Apple "bumper" or another third-party case for any current iPhone 4 owner who requests one via the web.

You forgot the part where they mentioned that a "grip of death" is not at all unique to the iphone 4.
"Apple kinda sorta admitted there is a problem, and will pay for an Apple "bumper" or another third-party case for any current iPhone 4 owner who requests one via the web"
That is all assuming they can get signal long enough to order it. Haha ANDROID FOR LIFE
I'm keeping my iPhone 4 come hell or high water. WITHOUT a bumper. I have no problem holding it so that i don't cover up the 1 mm gap.
Bored people will bitch about ANYTHING.
I just put a small strip of electrical tape along the bottom left of the phone, cut it so it fits without an overhanging lip. i no longer get a signal loss when i hold the phone in any way.
