Steven P. Jobs, chief executive of Apple, acknowledged Friday that the company’s iPhone 4 had some problems with its antenna but said the same problems affected all smartphones and had been widely exaggerated by the media.

Senh: I like Steve Jobs, but I'm not sure if this is gonna do it. Will these bumper cases help with the reception problems? It's turning into a he-said/she-said type of thing.

Meanwhile, the Droid X is sold out.

Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5

HTC's Sense UI runs on top of Windows Mobile 6.5 on the HD2, providing a better UI and convenient shortcuts to Windows Mobile apps. It's finger-friendly and hides most of WM 6.5's software and interface flaws. Sense UI is a slick and mostly well thought-out interface, but it has a few shortcomings of its own.
