Consumer Reports Does Not Recommend the iPhone 4
Consumer Reports says it cannot recommend the iPhone 4 because of reception issues. The consumer testing group says its findings are not based on the inaccurate signal reception display, but actual reception issues caused when the device is held in certain ways.
"When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone's lower left side—an easy thing, especially for lefties—the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you're in an area with a weak signal.

Screen Shortage Might Last Until 2012
Analysts say there's a particular dearth of the Samsung Electronics Co. touch screens the HTC phones use. Samsung is building a $2.2 billion factory to make the screens, but it won't start operations before 2012.
It is unclear how the parts shortages might affect mobile providers selling the popular HTC devices, in particular Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile, none of which yet has the right to sell the Apple iPhone.
But to the extent all three carriers experience HTC device shortages, it does not seem clear that the relative positions of the three carriers will change, based specifically on ability to sell HTC devices in this class. For Sprint, though, the advantage it had by launching the first nationwide 4G network is dwindling as Verizon Wireless readies its own launch later in 2010.

84% of Internet Users Never Click on Ads
About 84 percent of Internet users never click on any ads, comScore says.
Conversely, eight percent of users are responsible for 85 percent of activity.
Should we be surprised by that? Not really, considering the Pareto principle, commonly known as the "80/20" rule.
Despite that pattern of behavior, it seems unlikely most advertisers will stop relying on click-through rates.

Google Chief Predicts "Interactive Video Ads"
The ads, which could appear anywhere on a Web page, would be like mini-Web pages, allowing Web users to watch a video, leave a comment and see real-time updates within the ads that are more customized to their interests.
Schmidt says he has pushed Google's ad teams to think about the potential for such ads, without specifically adding details.

Indian Operator Aims at Wireless Broadband Market
Infotel Broadband Services plans to use its 20-MHz worth of national wireless spectrum in India to make a dent in that country's roughly one-percent broadband services penetration. But the company will not be able to offer switched voice services, according to the terms of its license. The restriction means Infotel will offer a fairly focused data access service, with users able to use PC-to-PC calling services to other Infotel subscribers.
The restriction illustrates the foundational impact regulation has on business models. Some observers say Infotel can only get so big while it has no ability to offer full mobile voice, which would require that it acquire another firm able to do so (a 2G or 3G provider, for example).
Government officials note that 30 percent to 40 percent of 36 million fixed line connections in India are not capable of supporting broadband services.
