Saying that though, considering an iPhone 4 is considerably more advanced than a ZX81 (even with 16K ram pack) as you mention, you'd have thought they wouldn't have had this problem in the first place.

I think consumer expectations have moved on.

But if it is as bad as the media make out how on earth would Apple's testers not notice it - left handers aren't THAT rare.

I think this is one of those 'features' that testers worked around rather than say 'the design is flawed go back and spend a couple of million fixing it'. Once they knew how to work round it they forgot about it, until such time as it got into the hands of users who PAID for it but sadly didn't know the workaround.

I do think Steve Jobs needs an attitude adjustment though; 'just avoid holding it in that way'. Who does he think he is, Steve Ballmer?
