A few weeks ago I pre-ordered my new iPhone 3GS for delivery this Friday. I was under the impression that I was going to pay $499. I was an early adopter of the 3G version(launch day) and was only being offered a $200 cut form the $699 retail, no contract price.
Today I log in to AT&T and run through the upgrade process and it’s offering me the 3GS for $299 with 2 year contact. A story broke yesterday on Gizmodo that AT&T was July/Sept/Aug 2008 upgraders a better deal, but the prices won;’t show up till today.
Bottom line is that AT&T just saved me $200 tomorrow. My $349 sale of my 3G on Craiglists on Monday just got a little sweeter!

@jeffkirvin The joke was about the two of them attending a Yankee’s game. It was only Palin and her 14 year old at the game. in reply to jeffkirvin#
@jeffkirvin The joke writer may not have know she has two daughters he assumed it was the 18yr old. Less the error, I thought it was funny. in reply to jeffkirvin#
is laughing at MartinoTV…They are trying to talk tech. I think they are getting about 40% of “thier” information correct. #
@jeffkirvin I agree this pricing crap is confusing. 32gb is $499 for me, but then it says I can get a discount on 7/11/09? WTH? in reply to jeffkirvin#
I sure am glad I picked up a Grand Central number back in the day. Since that number was handed out during it’s beta, Google has bought the company and have turned it into GoogleVoice.
Google has recently released a video on YouTube describing a new iPhone app that allows you to dial out using your GV account. Check out the video.
I am skeptical of the image that has been going around. An earlier report from a Chinese manufacturer was that Apple was ordering touch screens. Why would this design need a tough screen?
I think the device will be a large version of the iPhone, running the iPhone OS. I also believe Apple and AT&T’s agreement was constructed on the promise that Apple will release a product every year that will use AT&Ts network.
It is entirely possible that July will bring two new devices. A 9-10″ sub-notebook with 3G(pictured) and a larger iPhone style device(NetTablet)
XROAD just re-released G-Map for the iPhone. Search G-Map in your iTunes store. The released has some bugs fixs and has new version number.
This software is very helpful for thos of us that don’t have 3G 100% of the time. The maps are store on the device. Unlike the Google maps that require an internet connection to load. This really makes the application run quickly.
