  • Question on the iPhone price: It does not appear to me they lowered the price. They now charge $10 more am month for their services and make the customer sign a two year contract. This means an increase in total out of pocket expense of $240, thereby bringing this iPhone cost, (as compared to the 2g model with $10 less a month), up to $439.

    So I ask again, did they really lower the cost? Apple seems to have found a way to get around the biggest hurdle as to why folks didn't buy it, cost, by hiding a new monthly fee, and also a way to increase revenue by putting the apps via iTunes easily accessible on the iPhone.

    Seems like this is a pretty good marketing move by iPhone.
