Also iPhone Plan to get Cheaper: AT&T to Offer a Monthly iPhone plan for $20 with Limited Data Access ??
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/05/i...ta-access.html

About a week ago, we had reported that AT&T might be considering a $10 price cut in monthly iPhone plan when Apple announces the next generation iPhone at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference.

BusinessWeek is also reporting that as per people with knowledge of AT&T's thinking, they might introduce a monthly iPhone plan for $20 (a $10 monthly reduction) but with limited data access.

Analyst Richard Doherty speculates:
The exclusive U.S. iPhone service provider
is considering cutting the price of its monthly service package or offering a range of lower-priced plans, say people with knowledge of the company's thinking. One plan that could be introduced as early as late May would include limited data access at a $10 monthly reduction, the people say.

The possible price cut likely reflects the back-and-forth between AT&T and Apple (AAPL) as they work out whether and under what terms AT&T would remain the sole U.S. iPhone carrier. Apple may want flexibility in pricing as a condition, analysts say. "We understand it's part of the extension [of its contract] that AT&T wants to maintain," Richard Doherty, director at consultant Envisioneering Group, says of the prospect of lower data-plan prices. As Apple considers whether to widen its circle of U.S. providers, AT&T may have less ability to balk at Apple's requests.

No matter what company it is they try to hype their products, that just good marketing, Apple just has a big following that help out. I don't mind it really any new technology is cool to hear about and read, but thats kind of important for me seeing as the field I am going to school for. I am a big fan of Apple though because when they do things they do it right and lots of time they lead the innovation, a very inspiring company.

The new iPhone 3Gs announced will be available in a week, link for the difference of the old and new phone http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/i...e-of-the-tape/

Yes they are (look at the iPhone hard drive sizes, was last year's models), Steve Job's did not do the keynote this year, everyone has been a bit worried about his health, Job's took a leave but he is supposed to be back at the end of this month. The keynote this WWDC was done by Phil Shiller, all the fans (including Alizée ) was hoping to see a surprise appearance by Job's but I guess there wasn't one.

The Apple Keynote was just put up a hour or two ago and I just finished watching it, Phil Schiller is no Steve Jobs but did a good job along with the rest of the guys. A very interesting watch if you are into Apple's latest projects, lots of cool new features for OS X Snow Leopard and the iPhone along with new products. If you are intereted in watching the keynote presentation go to www.Apple.com and click the video link in the bottom left.

GOD I LOVE APPLE!!!!!
I will work for them one day...
That was a great keynote as it always is, but without Steve, it was lacking that special something. I was expecting a whole new iPhone but this is better than nothing! Apple blows my mind at every keynote. Its like a drug. I want to get back to that first high, when the first iPhone was announced. But each time takes more and more but it still doesnt compare. I'm glad to say I'm addicted to Apple... and Alizée. And Evo's.

But there is just one more thing...

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!!!
NEW IPHOOOOONE!
