Chuck Schumer writes open letter to Steve Jobs

just another Democrat attacking an evil American "Capitalist" company.

OK folks I'm not sure why Schumer decided to write a letter now his timing was a bit poor as mentioned before but being a congressman does not disqualify him from having an opinion about the iPhone. Chances are he has one or two and perhaps he's experienced problems with his phone and needed to vent. Saying that the iPhone not working is none of his business because he's a government official is failing to recognize that the iPhone is being used in government for various applications other than for personal phone calls. So if there are any problems with it, esp. dropping network connections this is an issue. I like he fact that Apple is the kind of company that consumers politicians included can write letters to, lodge their complaints and they actually do something about it. Some other companies would not give a care. So be it a politician or a regular Joe or Jane the bottom line is that Apple is on the job. Although it took em a few weeks.

Chuck Schumer is a grandstanding idiot.

Little Chuckie starts to feel neglected if he isn't getting his 15 minutes of national face-time every once in a while. How you guys in Jersey keep electing this.....(mumble-mumble).....I'll never know.

Oh, yes.....F**k Bloomberg, Consumer Reports, and Little Chuckie!

Just another sad moment in a long string of unsightly American politics.

I bet chuck takes credit for apple doing the right thing. After his letter went out to steve and all. Next on CNN chuck schmuck helped layout the plans for the free bumpers for iPhone4. fix ya know.

This guy is a duchebag.

I'd just like to point out that if Senator Schumer was trying for a little facetime (yes, I caught the pun), then the mere fact we're talking about it here shows he succeeded.

Gotcha.

first you say "no politics" then dis Schumer. perhaps you prefer republican senators, like AT&T does?

maybe Schumer, like the rest of us, would like his phone to work. my 3Gs has been glitch city since the software "upgrade", and it would certainly be great if aside from the exceptional data capabilities i could make a PHONE call, on a network other than AT&T. I'll wait for the iPhone 4 to be fully functional before switching, and appreciate Schumer's attention to a matter that is frustrating for a lot of NY'ers.

Great way to jump on the band wagon. Way too many politicians worrying about the little things instead of the real issues.
