Apple Gives Free Bumper Cases to iPhone 4 Owners
Jul 16th
Today at Apple’s iPhone 4 press conference to address the iPhone 4 antenna problem, Steve Jobs announced that Apple will be giving away free Bumper cases and will be refunding those who have already purchased the $30 case.
Steve announced that because they simply can’t make enough Bumpers, iPhone 4 owners will be given the choice between a select amount of cases to receive free of charge.
Personally, this is what I was hoping for. It is good to see Apple finally recognizing the fact that the iPhone is flawed and that they must do something about it. Would I rather see More >

Review: iPhone 4
Jul 1st
The iPhone 4 has to be one of the most popular products of the year, up there with the iPad. Today I’m going to both tell you about my buying experience and give you an un-biased review.
I woke up at about 5 a.m. the day of the iPhone 4′s launch and walked over to my neighborhood Apple Store. As I had already pre-ordered the phone, I didn’t expect there to be that long of a line. But boy, was I wrong. By 6:45 a.m. (before the store was even open) the line stretched way out of view of the store. I More >
