Motorola Strikes Back! With NY Times Ad

Well you had to know that this was coming, considering that Apple took the fight to Motorola's Droid X.

Motorola's new Droid X ad debut in the NY Times today, and it takes Apple to task. I have to say that in my opinion, it's on point. Check out the shot at Apple 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."

The statement above is comical but it is also true, as Apple's push for form over functionality has finally caught up with them. It doesn't matter to people how pretty it looks if it doesn't do what it is suppose to do.

Apple Gives iPhone 4 Owners Free 'Bumper Cases'

Thanks Steve!!!

Letterman's Top 10 Signs You’ve Purchased A Bad iPhone 4

Wow... This issue for the iPhone 4 has reached new levels, and with every passing day that Apple doesn't address it, it only puts more egg on their face. Never mind the fact the internet is ablaze with complaints about the antenna signal drop, or the bomb that Consumer Reports put on them by not recommending the iPhone 4 which sent their stock plummeting, or even the dig that Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner made when he said "It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista".

No, the real PR issue that Apple is beginning to see is the lampooning that David Letterman and others are giving them.

Although I personally have not experienced this issue, I think Apple needs to get out in front of this ASAP.

Step 1: Admit that there is a problem.... Stop with the Jedi mind tricks of telling people that there is nothing wrong with the antenna. There are tons of video out on the net and Consumer Reports is too rock solid to be questioned. This is most important!!!

Step 2: Give out those bumper rings that you were selling for $30 for free. Although this isn't a true fix, it will at least show good faith with your customers.

Step 3: Give out a free $10 credit to iTunes for the headache of it all.

You need to make this right Apple....

And Soon!!!
