iPhone 4 survey

The verdict is out – well, according to the latest survey results released by ChangeWave anyway. From a sample of over 4,000 iPhone 4 users in the US, more AT&T users have reported calls dropping when compared to the iPhone 4 users on Verizon (4.8% vs. 1.8% respectively). This looks like Verizon’s CDMA network really is an improvement over AT&T’s GSM network for the iPhone 4. However it is noted that these are relatively early stages of the iPhone 4 on Verizon – after all, AT&T has had the phone for a longer period, therefore have a larger amount of iPhone 4 users that are contributing to AT&T’s network congestion. Maybe once Verizon’s 3G network gets loaded with more iPhone 4 users, the results could tell a different story but for now, it looks like Verizon is the clear winner. How many of you have switched over to Verizon from AT&T for the iPhone 4 and has your phone’s connection improved drastically since then?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
