New iPhone on June 19th and iPhone OS 3.0 on June 17th.

The OS upgrade is free from iPhone owners, $9.99 for iPod Touch owners.

New phone is dubbed the iPhone 3GS and is available in the 16 gig variety for $199 and 32 gig variety for $299. The new hardware is supposedly twice as fast as the old edition and now sports a 3 megapixel autofocus camera.

The old iPhone 3G is now $99.

They also announced some cool new apps and features for iPhone, including "find my iPhone" which lets you log onto any browser and it shows you via GPS where your iPhone is. You can also send it a message to make it make noise so you can locate it. It also has a feature to let you erase all the information on your iPhone remotely incase it is stolen.

The also announced a slew of more powerful MacBooks up 3.03 ghz processors, 8 gigs of ram, and 500 gig HDD or 256 gig SSD.

They also announced Snow Leopard which will add a slew of features, including 64-bit support among other things. To upgrade from Leopard it is only $29

the iPhone was already hard to beat, but now with the power going into this phone it will be almost impossible to beat

which means more money in my pockets

There is still plenty for them to improve. What will be interesting is when AT&T's exclusive contract runs out. Will Apple renew it? Or move the phone to Verizon, Sprint, etc for more availability?

AT&T has the exclusive deal until the end of the year, and AT&T are trying to extend it until 2011 as we speak

The problem is with other companies is they do not want Apple to have all that control and that is why Verizon and Sprint turned Apple down in 2007. I think they would be willing to work with them now since it has been shown how popular the iPhone is now, but Verizon likes to have control of everything and is why they completely strip all blackberries down and put there own software on them.

I am thinking you will see another exclusive deal signed, otherwise I would think they would have held off until next year to release a new one on a new provider.

If they do not sign an exclusive there might be something written into the fact that it would be available with everybody not just one provider, which in turn might tick Verizon off because they are wanting an exclusive deal now

crazy thing is now the 8gb 3G iphone is $99 with 2 year agreement starting today

and Joe the only way I have seen the ETF waived is if you can get an address of somewhere that is not in their coverage area and saying you moved there or are working full time there.

another thing people have to realize about the iPhone possibly going to other companies.

Verizon is about to leave the ancient CDMA technology behind finally!! I really doubt that Apple would make a CDMA phone which would be slower, because it does not run HSPDA, which AT&T 3G already does. Now Verizon will be headed to LTE next year, but it will not be anywhere near fully functional until the end of 2010 to 2011. So, you would be looking at Apple realsing the new iPhone LTE which is rumored next year, but it will only really work in the big markets and probably not all of them. So, my prediction is you will not see iPhone on Verizon for at least a year possibly 2 years.

Sprint might be able to get ahold of the iPhone, unless they change technologies yet once again and get closer and closer of running out of money.

That leaves T-Mobile, and all i know what to say is hmmmmmmm

So I have been reading all over the net about all of T-Mobile's servers getting hacked, and all customer data has been stolen. If that is the case, maybe I will be able to get out of my contract for free after all. :-)

Anyone know a way to get out of a contract without paying the early termination fee? Im fuging suck of T-Mobile, and I really want an iphone, but I dont wanna pay 200 bucks for each of my lines.

My roommate got out of his Verizon contract by telling them he was moving to a town that was out of their service area. Not sure where, but he researched it online and found a town in Eastern NC that doesn't get Verizon service.

They let him out for free.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
