The iPhone rumor mill kicks up again
With the Apple 3G iPhone coming out Friday, there are rumors flying all over the blogosphere.
Techcrunch.com is speculating that the Apple App Store, where users will be able to download cool applications for their new phone, will open ahead of the cell phone’s launch because mobile software developers had to get their applications in by Monday so they could be reviewed.
And InformationWeek.com and others were saying that Apple and AT&T, the iPhone carrier in the U.S., would limit sales to one phone per person. Customers could buy two during the last iPhone rave.
Maybe that’s not so bad. Many buyers last time got stuck with two because demand on eBay and Craigslist slacked off quickly a year ago.
