This post was mentioned on Twitter by DanielEran: Tech: Hot & Cool 1 – Dealing with poor cellular service: from AT&T 3G Microcell to WiEx Zboost XY-510. @kharacara http://tinyurl.com/yg7u84r...

Since we all know AT&T is horrible, could you address two things:

1. Is the fabled move to Verizon dependent on LTE? I have heard in numerous places that Apple does not want to make 2 phones, but my understanding is that LTE won’t be rolled out fully (to replace CDMA for example) for years. So if Apple was waiting to be able to make one phone to run on AT&T and Verizon, we would be looking at 2013-2014, not 2011, as some people have speculated. Do you agree, and does this make it more or less likely that we will get an iPhone on Verizon sooner rather than later?

2. How does sticking with AT&T affect Apple’s ability to compete with Android and now apparently Microsoft, who have or will release phones almost as usable as the iPhone, but on a network that actually works? Instead of the “good enough” problem that Apple had in the 1990s versus Windows, I fear that by sticking with AT&T competitors with “good enough” phones on a superior network will surpass Apple. I for one have been an iPhone owner since 2007, but am seriously considering switching when my contract is up this summer. I have paid thousands of dollars to AT&T over the last nearly 3 years, and am tired of the spotty, sub par service.

Take care,

Your reports convey your distinct personality, but they are never about your personal life. Except that, for reasons I don’t understand, my earliest recollection of your articles concerns an earlier motorbike accident in Southeast Asia.

You haven’t written about, for example, setting up a computer for your uncle or your wife, the way other bloggers often do, although you did mention not having children when commenting about some product’s child-friendliness. That’s fine with me, I read your articles for their technical insight, not the personal touch. Since you are based in San Francisco, it has crossed my mind that there is a greater statistical likelihood that you are gay.

That was until recently, in fact you managed 9 out of 10 “iPad myths” all by yourself. But then, suddenly, you have a co-star. An attractive and outgoing personality who has almost taken over your videos.

Khara Cara is apparently a “Philipina-Jew”, a category of person I never even imagined to exist, let alone in numbers large enough to have their own website , according to which “Khara Cara already has a man, maraming salamat, a Hudyo one at that, who has inspired her to complete the formal process of giyur, besides a wealth of ongoing material for her blossoming stand-up career”.

Who could that Hudyo man be? According to Khara, Daniel Eran Dilger is her “Business Manager”, but the two also seem to share the same house, together with another woman and someone who makes films of them fooling around.

To be honest, I always assumed that the name Daniel Eran Dilger indicated Irish ancestry, Daniel as in “Oh Danny Boy” etc. Whatever, I am sure all of your readers would wish you luck with your future personal life. What we do not want is getting confused between the technical details of a repeater antenna system and the mechanics of pushing a cute ass through your rooflight.

Could you possibly find a way to separate the two?

Keep up the good work!
