It is no secret that Apple is suffering some harsh criticism over the iPhone 4 antenna flaw that so many owners are currently experiencing. The issue has, of late, become one of the biggest bits of tech news currently discussed and Motorola is taking full advantage of it.
Poking fun at Apple’s solution for the iPhone 4′s antenna flaw, the latest Droid X ad reads, “No Jacket Required.” It first appeared on Motorola’s Facebook page yesterday, but according to Gizmodo, it was featured in the NY Times this morning.
Motorola doesn’t hold anything back in the ad, stating that, “We believe a customer shouldn’t have to dress up their phone for it to work properly,” and, “…that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years.” Ouch.
Full statement:
“At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn’t have to dress up their phone for it to work properly. That’s why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket. For us it’s just one of those things that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years.”
Apple will most likely release an ad in retort, or Steve Jobs will put out a five page letter on his thoughts. In either case, we will be sure to keep you updated.
