Apple Scrubs Competitor Antenna Tests from Website

One of the key points at Apple's recent press conference to discuss the iPhone 4's antenna, was that the problem is not unique to the iPhone 4.

Senh: I'm surprised there hasn't been any lawsuits by rival companies yet.

Apple Offers Free Cases to Address iPhone Issue

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.
