iPhone 3G is Coming

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

Yes, Steve Jobs did one of his usual keynote speeches at the 2008 Worldwide Developers Conference and confirmed the rumors of the iPhone 3G. Supposedly this will be faster internet and everything else. And to think just a month or so ago I could have bought an iPhone. I would be so pissed off right now. Thankfully I bought a Blackberry. I even remember when a friend bought like a 15 GB iPod and just a month later, the 30GB Video iPod came out. Can you say livid?

What’s even more surprising than Apple screwing people with something new is that new price tag is on $199. Most mobile phones that have similar features are about $300, so it’s certainly a bold move on Apple’s part to take on the phone world. That’s like the price of a MotoRazr or something isn’t it?

One thing that still really, really bothers me about the iPhone is that you’re forced to move to AT&T. I have a huge family plan at my current vendor and various contract dates on the phone. My daughter dropped on in a puddle less than a year ago and had to get a new one and hence, we had to extend to get the better price. To be fair…she had the phone in her jeans pocket and actually dropped herself in the puddle. Anyway, the point here is that I can’t just jump ship and/or pay the $300 cancellation fee for each phone to switch carriers. Apple would do so much better if you could choose with the iPhone. Then they would truly take a much large market share.

Until that day, I’ll live just fine without one.
