I linked to the specific page, but as of this writing, this was front page news. CNN reaches a lot more people than this site or competing sites. Once soccer mom Sue finds out, she informs everyone she knows about this. Now the reception issue is getting beyond serious for Apple. Time to save face and confront your failed device from the publics perception.
Exactly GF... Its the word of mouth from peeps that dont understand how the CR testing was wrong( I work in the field of science myself )..
Although not anything to do with engineering ( i work in the medical field..mostly research and doing peer review studies ) .. So i am very familiar with this as i run into it all the time.. So many peeps misunderstand the study ( or dont understand how studies can be very flawed , and or biased) ..
I totally agree Apple needs to make some kinda of statement on this .. Its not good to just let the media run wild with no word from Apple ..
