The antenna idea (the metal frame is divided, acting as multiple antennas) is really nice, and so obvious in retrospect. Yeah, everything's simple in hindsight. I wonder if Apple invented and thus patented that.

Looks like it's the year of bombing demos...even Steve's has been hit!

Steve couldn't get on that vaunted AT&T network. Someone shouted "Verizon". Haha.

I thought for a minute that it was intentional, part of an announcement of new carriers/networks/etc.

...too bad.

I think those were fairly light shots, at least compared to what was said at Google I/O.

Won't your body affect the antennae when you hold the device though?
