Apple Invites reporters on short notice to Cupertino for an extraordinary press conference
After three weeks of mixed reviews, user complaints, short-tempered e-mails, falling share prices and ribbing from late-night comedians, Apple (AAPL) seems to have woken up to the fact that it has a problem.
On Wednesday afternoon its PR staff began calling reporters to invite them to a special event Friday at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) in its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters.
Topic: The iPhone 4.
No other details were forthcoming. But that was enough to launch a flurry of speculation that the company — and perhaps Steve Jobs himself — was finally going to get in front of a controversy that threatened to spin out of control.
It started as simple and relatively minor technological glitch.
It turns out that the steel bands that surround the new iPhone and serve as the device’s antennas have the radio equivalent of an Achilles Heel.

Guess who has another Apple scoop? Tinhte, the upstarts from Vietnam have first pics of the mythical iPod touch with a camera. The “DVT-1″ stamp on the back makes it clear that this is an early design verification test unit in the evolution of product testing. In other words, this might not be the final design whenever Apple chooses to announce it, say, on June 7th. A check of the device’s serial number identifies a late 2009 third generation iPod touch — could be that this device was one of those eBay prototypes that never made it to production for whatever reason.
The Foxconn manufactured device is also running the same base diagnostic utility that we’ve seen before (who could forget that “serial number” icon). The Foxconn label appears to indicate a 64GB model (“64G” using a pair of Samsung 32GB Flash modules presumably) in addition to a 2 megapixel, backside illuminated sensor manufactured by Omnivision (part OV2665-6s). Video after the break.
