Recommended Posts

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.

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
