			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AT&amp;T has upped the ante on their service level. Seems they realize they have a really bad reputation of &#8220;Fewer bars in more places&#8221; and Verizon Wireless is taking it to them with their &#8220;There&#8217;s a map for that&#8221; ads. These ads caused AT&amp;T to sue Verizon Wireless because the ads apparently misrepresented the truth (though AT&amp;T never denied the ads validity &#8211; the maps are comparisons between Verizon Wireless&#8217;all-3G network and AT&amp;T&#8217;s much more limited 3G network that complements a larger non-3G calling network). <a href="http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/12/att_drops_verizon_map_ad_lawsuit.php">Subsequently, AT&amp;T dropped their suit</a> after it became clear they would not win.</p>
<p>So AT&amp;T admits they have bad service back in September (video below) with &#8220;Seth the Blogger Guy&#8221; (LOLWUT?) and then sues Verizon Wireless for not being wrong (LOLHUHWUT?)</p>
<p><object width="600" height="475"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u5yIVgj0VVA?fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u5yIVgj0VVA?fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="475" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now AT&amp;T, according to <a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/12/07/atandt-mark-the-spot-an-iphone-app-that-lets-you-report-sucky-ser/">Download Squad</a> has released a new iPhone app to let users submit reports of bad service. Presumably this QA process will help AT&amp;T beef up their network coverage in the areas that are lacking&#8230;. like the United States (LOLWTFWUT?).</p>
<p>Because really, if you can&#8217;t <a href="http://blogs.findlaw.com/technologist/2009/04/giants-game-att-park-no-iphone-internet-major-fail.html">get reliable service at AT&amp;T Park in San Francisco</a>, the heart of iPhone zealotry, why not just mark the whole network as unreliable?</p>
<p>This jockeying comes at a critical time when Apple is deciding whether to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/att-trying-to-extend-iphone-exclusive-until-2011-2009-4">renew their exclusive relationship with AT&amp;T</a> or to <a href="http://gigaom.com/2009/10/09/why-the-end-of-atts-iphone-exclusivity-would-be-good-for-apple/">expand to other networks</a> like Verizon Wireless who are preparing to launch their 4G LTE network nationwide. Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.unstrung.com/document.asp?doc_id=182874">Verizon is planning at least three new Android phones</a> in 2010 raising the spectre of a holy war among iPhone loyalists and Android fans.</p>
<p>As my friend <a href="http://eastcoastblogging.com">Jimmy Gardner</a> says <a href="http://twitter.com/jjgardner3/status/6379914552">on Twitter</a> regarding the multi-tasking ability that is making current Android phones so much more desirable than the iPhone:</p>
<blockquote><p>From a former iphone snob &#8230; had u a droid you could check the traffic while listening to pandora At the Same Time</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m just saying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Al fin Apple anunciÃ³ el iPhone 3G -que se conecta a la red al doble de la velocidad que el modelo anterior, pero a este modelo le faltan algunas caracterÃ­sticas importantes que muchos esperabamos.</p>
<p><img src="http://red66.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/iphone.jpg" alt="iPhone.jpg" border="0" width="260" height="184" align="right" /><br />
<h3>1. Soporte Flash</h3>
<p>El navegador Safari del nuevo iPhone todavÃ­a no utiliza Adobe Flash, asÃ­ que al parecer el problema no era la velocidad de conexiÃ³n.</p>
<h3>2. Cortar-y-Pegar</h3>
<p>Pues no, todavÃ­a no podemos cortar-y-pegar texto en el iPhone. Â¿TendrÃ¡ Apple alguna preocupaciÃ³n con la seguridad del iPhone a través de cortar-y-pegar (y Flash -ver punto #1 arriba)?</p>
<h3>3. Independencia de Proveedores</h3>
<p>No hubo ninguna menciÃ³n de un iPhone desbloqueado, asÃ­ que parece que los usuarios en USA seguiran atados a AT&amp;T, por lo menos hasta que salga la versiÃ³n 2.0 liberada.</p>
<h3>4. CÃ¡mara de Video o de mejor calidad</h3>
<p>El iPhone 3G mantiene la misma cÃ¡mara de 2 megapixels de su antecesor, sin soporte para video. Mientras tanto, Nokia ofrece un modelo con cÃ¡mara de 5 megapixels.</p>
<h3>5. Email Horizontal</h3>
<p>Ok, Â¿por qué no puedo voltear mi iPhone para leer los emails mÃ¡s cÃ³modamente?</p>
<h3>6. SincronizaciÃ³n via Wi-Fi</h3>
<p>MobileMe, el nuevo servicio de sincronizaciÃ³n de datos de Apple, serÃ¡ de gran ayuda para mantener mi laptop y mi iPhone sincronizados cuando esté en la calle (a un costo de US$99 al aÃ±o), pero Â¿por qué no puede el iPhone sincronizarse automÃ¡ticamente cuando se conecta a mi red Wi-Fi? Â¿Por qué hace falta todavÃ­a conectarse a un cable USB?</p>
<h3>7. Modem</h3>
<p>Â¿Por qué no puedo usar mi iPhone como un modem para mi laptop? Ya se conecta a Internet a través del celular y a mi laptop via USB o Bluetooth&#8230; entonces, Â¿por qué no puede conectar mi laptop a Internet?</p>
<p>En conclusiÃ³n&#8230; mas allÃ¡ de la velocidad 3G y un GPS de verdad, no parece que el nuevo iPhone haga mucho mÃ¡s que su antecesor. Sigue siendo un excelente teléfono y una magnÃ­fica herramienta multimedia&#8230; pero no es necesariamiente una actualizaciÃ³n obligatoria para quienes ya tienen un iPhone, sobre todo porque la gran mayorÃ­a de las mejoras viene en el software 2.0, disponible gratis para todos los iPhones.</p>
