4th gen iPhone prototype found in bar?
PowerMac:
Apple's stance to date has been that they want one model to work everywhere, hence using the GSM Standard. Seeing as how CDMA is being basically abandoned with most major Carriers adopting LTE for their next-gen networks I would not expect to see a CDMA iPhone. I have not doubt that the AT&T Exclusivity will end, though I do not know how it will happen, seeing as T-Mobile uses a different frequency for 3G service.

That AT&T exclusive contract NEEDS to end. AT&T is an asshole company for mobile. I was with them when they were "cingular" - and they SUCKED DICK.
Worst service I ever had. Everything from voice, quality, support, billing - everything was pure shit. Then I canceled my contract on the DAY it ended, the motherfuckers tried to charge me the cancellation fee (and jacked it up to $500)! Fucking bastards.
Then after the fact - they send a collections letter trying to "settle" $500 for $25 ( Translation: a trick in order to get me to mail them a payment to reset the statute of limitations - then say it's an error. You pay $0.01 to a statute bill, you reset the clock. )
Motherfuckers.

The exclusive contract wont end in the US unless ATT cant meet sales numbers on them more likely then not.
And the day your contract ends IE if the contract ends 04/26/2010 and you cancel 04/26/2010 then you canceled when it was still in effect. If you canceled on 04/27/2010 the its no longer valid, unless they put a time on the contract as well. But you get the point.
They are a massive fucking company and its not a guy in a office that says hey he canceled the last day of the contract. Its in the computer and its supposed to be like that. Cancelation fees were all listed in the contract you signed. If you didnt like you contract you shouldnt have signed it to begin with. You cant blame ATT for fucking you in the ass when they say in the contract they are going to do it if you do XYZ

There we go. Apple being a bunch of fascist bastards.
I guess that's it - no way in HELL am I going to support a company that's like this. Even MICROSOFT isn't this bad - and I fucking hate Microsoft.
People go and ninja their copies of windows ( remember longhorn distros, win7 ones ) - they didn't make a fuss - they commented on "hey! Look how popular it already is. This is a good sign." They took it as a positive.
Apple does this: After they arrogantly blew off the guy who found it. After they generated huge publicity and buzz. What a bunch of ungrateful fuckers.
Screw Apple. Their shit all looks the same these days anyways. They can go to hell as far as I care.
