AT&T network bucks up at WWDC keynote

[EL PRESIDENTE]

During a demo of the Iphone 4....the AT&T network wouldn't load the NY Times webpage. haha

No, it was their (Apple's) WiFi network that had issues. 150+ people at the conference where all logged into it which prevented Steve Jobs from getting the connection he needed.

I want the new iPhone! Comes out June 24th!

I've had issues connecting to wifi on an ipod touch...my mac connects fine but ipod touch sometimes has issues doing so, esp. in public wifi networks (airports, etc).
