This is what I have never understood about this problem. What is it with the black strips and what does the steel bar at the bottom do? If there are any antenna boffins in the group, please chime in, but my understanding of antennas is, they are tuned lengths according frequency. If you touch one you upset the tuned length. If you short two antennas out by making them touch or by holding both of them you get the same effect. So why don't you see this when holding the IP4 in the normal way with fingers touching both antennas? > > (They've also re-designed the bars themselves on the phone.

Bit of a pain. I created one note as a To Do, but I assume nothing special happens on the iPhone with that? Also, I saw you can attach something to a note created on the Mac - but what do you do with it? I attached a picture but it just shows up as a paperclip on the note on my iPhone... doesn't seem you can do anything with it? Mark |
