A Letter to Steve Job from A Lefty

Hi Steve,

I understand you have already stated millions of times that we lefties just have to live with the inherited bottom-left corner antenna reception problem on our iPhone 4. 

That's probably the worst possible speech you gave but we can just about live with that.

May I make a little suggestion here for you to make us a little less miserable?  Or I suppose, a gesture to make it up to us in a sense?  

How about someone in your design team try modifying the “Slide to Unlock” so it can go the opposite direction?

It is the norm for us lefties to hold the iPhone with our right hand and if your team of engineers can investigate an easier slide motion to unlock, it would be real exhilarating. 

Apparently, if you don't know, lefties by and large, currently constitutes about 20% of your customer base (excluding the ambidextrous of course).  Would be grateful if you can look into incorporating this in the next OS upgrade. 

Thanks a bunch.

Yours sincerely,

Alampy
