Apple unveils 3G iPhone
Steve Jobs finally showed off what everybody at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference was hoping for: a new 3G iPhone that makes Web surfing nearly three times faster than its past iPhones and other “smart phones” The new 3G model also has built-in GPS service.
Here’s the big news: Apple’s new 3G iPhone will sell for $199 for the 8 gigabyte model and $299 for the 16 gigabyte model. That’s down from $599 for the orginal 8 GB iPhone just a year ago.
“At $199, we think i phone is affordable for everyone,” Jobs said.

So Mr. Jobs thinks a phone for $199 is affordable to ‘everyone’? In the grand utopian experiment of ‘going back to socialism’ that will be the Osama-Obama presidency, we’ll ALL get one - from the government. Just raise taxes on ‘the rich’ to 99% and we can all call and find ourselves. Have we really dumbed ourselves down this far?

John Galt, this article is about the new iPhone, not about politics. And his name is Barack Obama, not Osama. Obama will be your NEXT president whether you like it or not. Osama is the terrorist your current president and government has kept alive in order to scare d******* like yourself of another terrorist attack so the war in Iraq can continue. Grow up and get a life and keep your racist views to yourself.

John Gait, it appears we may have dumbed ourselves down to the point of wanting a lower cost iPhone. But, it is obvious from your statement the vast majority of us will never be as stupid as yourself and your dim witted comment.
