My prediction:

- free bumpers or exchange for today's customers

- Minor redesign within a few months (ie, by the holidays) - something like a thin insulating coating over the steel antenna, such that it solves the issue, but doesn't change the appearance.

I expect they'll get major kudos from fans and critics alike.



I predict they'll provide an even cheaper solution. A small transparent electrostatic piece of plastic to cover the antenna (i.e., scotch tape without the glue).

I don't expect them to issue much of a mea culpa over this though.


* A small transparent electrostatic piece of plastic to cover the antenna (i.e., scotch tape without the glue).*

Would this even work? Capacitive coupling?


On second thought, let's add the glue back to the piece of plastic. ;)
