I don't think the patent has been officially awarded yet. Plus, I'm not 100% sure that this is patentable since it's a rather obvious extension on something that's been around for hundreds of years.

@rcgalati: I suppose if 20% of all iPhones had this problem, you could attribute it to a design defect, but I seriously doubt that many iPhones have the problem. We'd have to see some numbers.

@Brian Lam: It's just as likely that you'd be able to find other iPhone 4's that have a similar problem when you touch them in other places as well. Like I said, antenna manufacturing is an extremely variance sensitive thing.

Why would this job describe only a game developer? Why wouldn't Apple want someone who could create a cool 3D interface for one of their next projects for the iPhone/iPod?

I'd like to gripe about Thunderbird for a sec if I may. Mainly, just one gripe.
