Dialing Into the Future

That sounds like a good deal to me, Prairie Prankster. When you buy anything and pay for it over time, you expect to pay more over the long run; don't you? Or maybe you buy your cars and houses outright. Why shouldn't AT&T be a winner in this deal? they are in business to make money. This looks like a win-win-win for everyone; Apple-AT&T-Consumer. Isn't that the way a flat earth senerio should work?

When you combine the extra $10/month for unlimited data along with the new charge of $10/month for 200 text messages, the "new" iPhone and AT&T service will cost at least $20 more per month and over the life a 2 year contract that equals $480. So this new device, as cool as it is, will cost $199 + $480 for the same levels of service from AT&T, or $679 which is what many paid for the original iPhone albeit with it's slower data transfer rates. Sounds like a great deal for AT&T.

Well with this new technology maybe the addition of a new name; how about ( "APPLE OF AN i).

I'm psyched for it.

What the hell is this.... free advertising?

How much is Steve Jobs paying you for this article?

This is ridiculous, Newsweek. Where is your journalistic integrity?
