Setting: Grade school classroom
Scenario: During a final exam, everybody uses various techniques on how to cheat to pass their exam. Unfortunately Stevie was caught by their teacher. Since Stevie was already bound to fail the exam, he thought: "If I'm not going to pass this exam, might as well drag my other classmates. This way, I won't look like the only cheater in this class." So Stevie, looking for a "companion", finds Andy and tells their teacher that Andy was also cheating, and that everyone does it.
Same with Apple's attack on Motorola's Droid X. After the controversial iPhone 4's "Death Grip" that affects the device's signal strength when holding the phone in a certain way, Apple has decided to prove it's innocence by applying the "Death Grip" on Motorola's Droid X and say: "Hey! We're not the only one, so don't go saying our design is flawed!". Apple has posted a video, demonstrating the "Death Grip" on the new Droid X and showing that the issue persists on the device and not only on the awaited iPhone 4.
Motorola's response? They released an ad, mocking iPhone 4's bumpers.
It says: "NO JACKET REQUIRED", referring to iPhone 4's bumpers that, as a workaround, will solve the "Death Grip" issue.
More mocking on the caption below: "At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn't have to dress up their phone for it to work properly. That's why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket. For us it's just one of those things that comes as a given when you've been making mobile phones for over 30 years."
Personally, I find the "Death Grip" an issue. It's a design flaw, admit it Stevie! And yet, experts say that the "Death Grip" issue doesn't really have much effect on iPhone 4 users since you won't really hold your phone that way.
But still, I enjoy the current Mobile Platform War between the two giants, their childish mockery, and taunts.
