By now I am sure all my readers are aware of iPhone’s antenna / reception problems and how Apple has come with their case program as a solution.

Apple also announced that customers who have already bought the case for their iPhone 4 will be given a complete refund of what they’ve paid.

iOS 4 was probably the last in line of smartphone operating systems which introduced the ever-so-important multitasking feature.
