AT&T's Many Missed iPhone Opportunities
Macworld's Jason Snell says:
Who would have expected that Public Enemy Number One coming out of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference would be AT&T? I mean, nobody loves the phone company, or the cable company, or the electric company. (As a kid I did love "The Electric Company," but these days as a homeowner my local utility features many more bills and much less Rita Moreno, thereby diminishing my enthusiasm.) But the outright booing of AT&T, egged on by Apple executives? I was shocked.

Call AT&T for the Best iPhone Upgrade Price
TidBits' Rich Mogull says:
Most existing AT&T iPhone customers who don't qualify at the $199/$299 price points (for the 16 GB or 32 GB models) can still purchase an iPhone 3G S for "early upgrade" pricing of $399/$499. Customers who bought their phones too recently even for that pricing can upgrade for full retail price at $599/$699. To confuse the situation even more, eligibility for the different tiers of upgrade pricing isn't as simple as how long you've had your phone... and in some cases AT&T's system for determining eligibility makes mistakes.

AT&T's iPhone MMS to be free
The Register's Rik Myslewski reports:
AT&T has dribbled out a bit more information about its support for Apple's new iPhone 3.0 software. The good news is that MMS support will be free. The bad news is that Big Phone hasn't made any changes in their controversial iPhone 3G S early-upgrade pricing.

Rethinking the iPhone's Role in Computing
PCMag's Tim Bajarin asks
Is the iPhone a personal computer that just happens to make phone calls, or a phone that just happens to run apps? And if it's really a PC that fits in your pocket, does that change how you use it?....
....Apple watchers and those in the smartphone market need to rethink what Apple is really doing. It's possible that what the company has built is not a smartphone but something very different altogether.....

Rogers iPhone 3G S To Cost $799 Full Price?
Electronista reports:
The version of the iPhone 3G S bound for Canadian provider Rogers and its sister carrier Fido may cost disproportionately more for existing customers than it will in the US, according to claims made by Fido representatives. While the three-year pricing is technically lower priced than the US counterpart, Fido reportedly says the newer device will cost a minimum of $799 CAD non-contract for a 16GB model and $899 for a 32GB version, or significantly higher than the equivalent $567 and $680 prices in the US.
