Apple customers dissatisfied with the company’s response to a glitch that renders the device’s antenna nearly inoperable are petitioning the company to either fix the problem or hand out free rubber “bumpers” that mitigate its effects.
“A free case is definitely the solution to this,” wrote Richard Kirk, who is among dozens of iPhone 4 users to have signed the petition, which was launched last week by tech blog Gizmodo.
“Don’t get me wrong i’m a huge apple fan, and I think Steve Jobs is a brilliant man. But, I also think it was in poor taste to publicly state that everyone is holding their phones wrong! It needs to be fixed,” wrote another user, “sjud9227.”
Many iPhone 4 buyers have reported that the device’s signal drops dramatically if its bottom left corner is covered by the palm of the user’s hand—a situation common when it’s wielded by lefties. Reports have suggested the problem arises because grasping the phone in such a manner covers a particularly sensitive part of the antenna.
Apple and third-parties offer rubber bumpers that insulate the antenna from human contact, but so far the company has refused to offer the add-on—which can range in price from $10 to $50—for free. Rather, Apple on Friday insisted that iPhone 4′s antenna is not defective, and blamed a software bug for displaying inaccurate signal bars.

The results of a recent survey of iPad owners conducted by Resolve Market Research seems to indicate that the tablet is taking a notable chunk out of the handheld gaming industry share. According to Mashable, 28 percent of respondents claimed that one of their main uses for the iPad was gaming, while 23 percent said between the iPad, smartphones and portable gaming devices, the former is “the most enjoyable for playing games.”
Most evidential of the iPad’s effect on the market is a question inquiring what mobile device respondents had no interest in purchasing after owning an iPad — 38 percent answered portable gaming device. Of course, these same respondents may have had no interest in buying a handheld before purchasing an iPad — still, Sony and Nintendo are likely sweating these harrowing percentiles.

At long last the Apple iPad has arrived and has created quite a buzz in the tech world. Bloggers are blogging, Hundreds of YouTube videos are popping up getting millions of views. If you like Apple products then you’re gonna love the iPad. These things are just cool! Although the price tag isn’t as cool. Actually they’re not horribly expensive, most places have them listed just under $200. But that is a lot of money for some of us.
Luckily, all the excitement around the iPad launch has created a ton of ways you can actually get an iPad for free.
Yep, you read that right. Some companies are giving them away as promotional items. Other places will give you one for free if you will simply test it out for them. So if you’re quick about it you could probably get one with out spending one single penny.
Why would they give one away for free?
Well, a lot of these big companies simply need average everyday people to use the products, give their opinions, test out all the new features and then simply share that information so they can improve and make the product better in the future.
One thing to watch out for though, there are companies are claiming they want you to test an iPad out but require you to pay for it. This is just crazy when there are a legitimate companies out there offering the iPad for free to people to test them out.
As with most good things in life, this won’t last long. My guess is that once the buzz surrounding the launch of the iPad dies down you’ll start to see fewer free iPad offers around. So if you don’t mind sharing your opinions about the new iPad you shouldn’t hesitate to get a free one for testing.

Inevitably, items that sell well on eBay and any other market on the internet are bombarded by people trying to sell the products that are currently in high demand. As an eBay powerseller I only use the most reliable wholesale suppliers and also some of the best dropshippers around. The question that is often asked the most is where can I find reliable iPhone wholesalers. This question of course is popular due to the rate at which iPhones are selling. Looking to eBay, apple iPhones are one of the hottest products at the moment and people are paying above and beyond to get their hands on them.
Recently I decided to start selling the iPhones to see what profit margin I could average out on every 100. The results were staggering you really can make a lot of money with iPhones. Fom my experience the iPhone 32gb s is selling particularly well at the moment. It is these luxury goods that even in a recession can put your profitability through the roof.
Many people try to enter the field of selling on eBay but do not succeed. Why do people find it difficult to sell on eBay? Simple, the suppliers they have are all over the internet. They supply the products at close to retail prices, therefore leaving little to no profitability for the seller. This is why people wanting to sell iPhones do not succeed, they do not have access to the reliable and genuine iPhone wholesalers. There are some good iPhone dropshippers around, but you must be careful as there are also a vast amount of fakes out there. If you are dropshipping iPhones you may be lucky to scoop up $10-$20 profit per iPhone. The reality of it is in the long term you will not succeed as people who buy these iPhones on wholesale will run that profit margin down to maybe $2-$3 a piece.
You can not simply type iPhone wholesalers into google and expect to find suppliers that will make you thousands. In fact as an eBay powerseller I have had to learn this the hard way. I have many reliable suppliers including my supplier for apple iPhones. Searching google will simply return a list of iPhone suppliers that may sell refurbished or damaged goods and 90% of the time will return individuals who have set up a website and claim to sell iPhones. There are also the replicas that are commonly found in the chinese market. You could possibly sell these on eBay but you would need to state the chinese model and the fact that it is not an iPhone. You never want to trick someone into parting with their hard earned cash.
So can you really find iPhone distributors?
The answer is yes you can. I have been selling iPhones on eBay and many other market places for the last 3 months and the profits have been incredible. Each iPhone sells for roughly $150 profit. So when I sell 100 in a month I make over $15,000 dollars. This is not difficult, I sell roughly 4-5 iPhones a day and to date have 100% positive feedback on eBay. Obviously I bought the product myself from the wholesaler to inspect and ensure I was supplying quality items. You too could easily sell these iPhones, you just need the right suppliers.
