I think that they may well keep OS X around, but just for their highest end professional machines. IMacs and laptops, except perhaps for the heftiest of the laptops, could go with future versions of iOS.

Re: [CGUYS] iphone 4, running with the herd
Well, for my part, this is a deal breaker unless and until. I use my left hand for all the important things in my life. The right is for mousing, scissors, and cleaning up so that means I have no plans for visiting certain countries ... hehehe YMMV Being awake at 3:30am wouldn't be so bad if it weren't in the middle of the night. - - Chris Pirillo On Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 12:05 PM, TJPA wrote: > Jobs is a leftie.

Jobs is a leftie. Some of their gear definitely favors lefties. And sometimes it does not.

Re: [CGUYS] iphone 4, running with the herd
Yes although a right hander I use my left hand for phone calling almost exclusively. I think it also has to do with hearing problems in the right one.

Re: [CGUYS] iphone 4, running with the herd
I've seen this in some of the forums regarding the issue..calling it a lefty issue as if there are so few left handed people that it's not a huge problem. I don't know about right handers on the list, but I hold my phone almost exclusively with my left hand. Anyone else?

>From a fav website - http://www.everythingicafe.com/ Is An Antenna Fix Just Around The Corner With iOS 4.01? by Tim Barribeau on June 26, 2010 AppleInsider is reporting a rumor that Apple is pushing through an iOS update at full speed, which will hopefully fix the reception issue that comes from holding the iPhone in the wrong way. The fix would arrive early next week (maybe as soon as Monday) in the form of iOS 4.01, as was discussed in a now deleted thread on the Apple support forums. So how is this going to fix what appears to be a hardware issue? The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting “no service” rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio. Hopefully, it will also fix the poorly calibrated proximity sensor. PS - They are doing maintenance on the Forums at the moment. Later, I can post a link to a thread with real world experiences with this. As a left-handed user, I am concerned enough to stick with my GS on iOS 4 until things shake out.
