▼iPhone 4 Antenna Performance, Outside the U.S. - Daring Fireball
Stephen Fenech, reviewing the iPhone 4 for The Daily Telegraph in Australia:
I’ve been using the iPhone 4 for nearly a week to make calls, send and receive emails and surf the web from various places around the city and suburbs.
Is the antenna an issue? No it’s not. Have I dropped calls? No, I have not.
Have I noticed an impact on the device’s performance? No.
Jody Carbone - I hate to burst your bubble, but arstechnica tells a different story http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/07/international-launch-causes-rehash-of-iphone-4-antenna-issue.ars 8:52 amDeleteUndo deleteReport spamNot spam

Bwana McCall - Considering that his came from the Blackhat conference initially, they probably are withholding the app's name on purpose. My guess is that they contacted the questionable company and are giving them time to respond before outing/exposing them.
