Soon after Steve Jobs' "antennagate" news conference, where he named and shamed other smartphones with dropped signal problems, Apple added a new page to its website.
It's called "smartphone antenna perfornance" and it names other manufacturers' phones that drop network signal when held in certain ways.
The HTC Driod Eris was there, along with the Blackberry Bold 9700 and the Samsung Omnia 2.
All those brands strongly criticised Apple for dragging them into the fight.
Nokia - left out of the initial batch of shamed phones - made capital by launching a "how to hold your Nokia" website page, poking fairly obvious fun at Apple.
Steve and his cronies reacted quickly: they shoved the Nokia N97 Mini onto their shame page.
But what about Motorola? Perhaps it had no phones that suffered from "antennagate". In fact, Motorola took a swipe at Apple with a full-page ad in The New York Times for its new Driod X smartphone.
Silly Motorola!
The Droid X has now found its place in the Apple hall of shame.
The phrase "school playground" comes to mind.
