Steve Jobs= awkward

You do realize that was just a number he made up right?

You do realize he didn't actually count them, and no one actually counted them... right?

You do realize that he was just guessing at what the cause was, and hoping that would solve the problem... right?

And, of course, that WOULDN'T BE A FAILING OF THE PHONE.

Dude, chill.

Unless Steve was COMPLETELY LYING when he said that his network team detected those Routers, he didn't make up anything.

Watch this video from 1:40 on. He said his team discovered 570 wireless base stations in the building. Thats childs play to figure out with a wifi sniffer like airsnort. Would take a minute to run a scan.

I think you mistake me for an apple fanboi.

I proudly own an HTC Incredible and I laughed rather heartily at Steve's woes on stage. Doesn't meant there isn't a good honest technical reason for the issue they had.

Here are two things that make me believe he is lying:

1) None of the reporters has reported a problem accessing wi-fi.

2) He makes a habit about lying in regards to his products (Retinal quality display... disproven. Display quality... disproven. Among a number of other things).

I don't believe he would tell the truth if it was a failing of the device.

You guys know that it's the iphone 4 not 4G! It doesn't have a 4G data connection.

With that aside, this is wifi, and could have easily been a fault with the iphone.
Which obviously hasn't been tested thoroughly.

Either that, or the weaker antenna on the iphone wasn't able to pick up a signal because there was so much going on in the room at the radio level.
Regardless, major noobs.

He should have tried using AT&T's network lol

Wrong.

There are a limited number of broadcast channels available for 802.11 b/g/n

Steve said there were over 500 wifi routers transmitting in the audience.

Not wifi receiver cards, ROUTERS.

even assuming an even distribution, thats 41 routers broadcasting on each channel(12 channels)

Thats a MASSIVE amount of interference.

That means that the iPhone's were competing with dozens, if not hundreds of wifi routers.

By wifi router, i mean devices like Verizon Mi-fi's, Sprint Hotspot, Palm Pre/Pixi with hotspot, Sprint Evo with wifi hotspot and any other Android 2.2 devices broadcasting.

I'm surprised anyone was able to get a stable connection in that room.

Ok then, those 500 people weren't having problems. Why was he?
