Yay, another OS upgrade that I get to pay for for the Touch... weak.

it'll be worth the $10.

Yup, don't need Signal anymore as there's a free remote download.

Yeah, I know, I just feel like I'm getting nickel and dimed by apple to "unlock" the potential of what was already a very expensive device. It's like they're passing along the cost while giving Phone users a free ride even though the cost of the phone is less than the Touch.

apple gets huge kickbacks from AT&T.

While the iPhone 3G is less expensive upfront, the cost of the plans has increased for the 3G... people will end up paying for it eventually.

Sweet, the iPhone is being launched tomorrow over here (finally). They contracted T-Mobile *stupid stupid stupid* but their contract ends in like 3 months and it seems that Vodafone is gonna get them too by then and that would be extremely nice.

I hear you can also have your own Steve Jobs reality distortion field generated around you too. That could come in handy!

I'll take my chances with 6am. I'm up anyway, so I can just drive over, grab some coffee at DD and listen to music.

They say that stock will be replensihed daily so if not tomorrow then Saturday.

I hear they're going to release an app that makes you feel better about the fact that in a year the phone will be free and be available on any carrier. It's called bendoverandtakeit .
