“No chance the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.” — Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, 2007

No. Absolutely not. Never. You could be any number of people I want to avoid. Bugger off.
I’m kind of shocked.
Who will protect the children?
Whoa, hey, what?
I thought Apple’s iTunes policy for iPhone apps was really strict.
“Do attractive people buy more iPhones, or does the iPhone somehow make you more attractive?”
Great conundrums of our time.
Geez iPhone, you don’t have to be an asshole about it.
Dad is not impressed by Steve Jobs’ innovations in mobile communication technology.
The iPhone 4’s camera function makes movie recommendations. It favors arty thrillers, but it’s better than Rotten Tomatoes.
… let’s be clear here. This story was blown out of proportion. Does the iPhone 4 have a spot that, when blocked, causes signal attenuation? Yes, as do all modern smartphones. Is this situation acerbated by the fact that the iPhone 4′s antenna is placed outside of the casing? Yes, but that decision demonstrably improves reception in the vast majority of situations. The bottom line is, this was a “debacle” almost entirely created by the press.
Dear Steve Jobs:
I love my new iPhone. It’s fast and shiny and all that I’ve come to expect from your marvelous cult company.
But I was promised reception issues.
There were many, many pixels rearranged on the subject of these horrible, inexcusable reception issues. Thousands of tech writers screamed bloody murder over the fact that if one held the iPhone 4 in a certain way, it would loose bars, slowly cut out, then drop the call.
I WAS VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FEATURE, STEVE JOBS.
MY NEW IPHONE DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE, STEVE JOBS.
WTF? I had two dreaded phone calls I was putting off until I was able to make them with my iPhone 4. Now I have to make them. In full iPhone 4 Att&t fidelity, which as of this moment, is crystal clear. I am not happy. I’ve spent all weekend trying to lose bars in various locales around San Francisco. This is bullshit.
Does anyone else have the magical reception button on their iPhone? Can we trade?
Whoa. The location stamp on every single one of my iPhone photos creeps me out.

Jobs can’t get a cell signal for his iPhone presentation, he asks “any suggestions” someone in the audience yells “Verizon!
