Comment Re:Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims (Score 1) 514
If you want best signal quality you will have a high gain
dish antenna with an auto alignment system to keep
it aligned with the tower antenna and get the best SNR
performance.
That's going to be a bit bulky and awkward to deal with however.
ALL cell phone antennas are a compromise on usability, compactness
signal strength in transmission, sensitivity to orientation and sensitivity to
close proximity loading (the big sweaty hand syndrome)
And a dozen other things.
The average end user doesn't notice and they don't care until it
affects what they are doing.
Apple Screwed Up - and Jobs doesn't want to show humility.
Old Jobs from 20 years back. Pretty typical for him.
In San Jose, there is a street named for Steve Wozniak (Woz Way downtown)
Nothing there for Steve Jobs.
Woz is well liked by the engineers in Silly Valley - Not so for SJ...
