All is not well in AT&T-Apple land

I work for this genius. Not directly by any means but I do ride in his mother ship. If you get the obscure ref. Anyway I have sat watching more than one of his conference "town hall" meetings. He will say one thing to one group in one part of the country then go to another area and give the same speech but with a few subtle twist. Which are just plain lies from what he told another group. Point being I am not surprised by this. Recently he was asked about the Tilt and did not even know what it was. His predecessor told a town hall that he was getting rid of the Cingular brand basically because he wanted to. Well we see how that turned out. Not tech savy men. Or hep to what pop culture is about. No King Steve that's for sure.

Integrity

The article states that Apple sells 1/5 of its iPhones without a plan, yet anyone who owns one knows that every iPhone is sold without a plan and then activated at home, using iTunes. Apple sells the phone to anyone who needs one and has a credit card, because they put faith in people to be honest and use a little integrity. It isn't Apple's fault that people can't be decent and actually hold themselves to the end-user agreement.

3G is not more widespread in

3G is not more widespread in Europe. In fact, Europe was rather late to the 3G bandwagon.

"...In Europe, where 3G is much more important and widespread, the iphone market will be hit even harder."

when I buy my new macbook

when I buy my new macbook pro for $2499, I know there will be a new one that is faster, more hard drive, better graphic card the very next year or 6 months from now, that did not stop me from buying one.

When I bought my iPhone on June 29, I knew there would be one with 3G next year, that did not stop me.

When is the last time you buy something and say "oh I better wait" If you are like that, you end up with NOTHING!
