RIM cries foul after Apple’s video evidence

Link: RIM responds to Apple’s antenna press conference

“Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.”

Am I seeing this correctly? Is RIM actually saying that their designs are “innovative”?

iPhone 4 in Singapore

I’m sure this is no big news, but according to at least 2 different inside sources and another well-informed source, a shipment of iPhone 4s are already on Singapore shores since more than a week or two ago and more than a couple of people have already touched the phone.

Oh and the lucky Apple Singapore execs who get to get (not buy) the iPhone 4 quite a bit earlier than the Singaporean launch for themselves and their families.

And what can the common people like us folks look forward to?

Oh well, at least there will be some iPhone 4s locally for a July launch. And we won’t be forced to wait until August or something.
