Macworld | iPhone Central | AT&T posts, pulls free iPhone Wi-Fi access page - 0 views

  • Details about AT&T’s plans to offer free Wi-Fi for iPhone users first appeared in May, but shortly after posting details of the plan, AT&T pulled them again. AT&T is the sole provider of data and voice plans for iPhone users in the United States.
  • According to the details of the page that appeared briefly on AT&T’s Web site, AT&T says it has more than 17,000 Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide. The company counts 12 airports, 31 hotels, 23 universities, 18 convention centers, five sports centers, 8,000 or more restaurants, 700 or more bookstores and more than 50 supermarkets. Editor's note: Added information about the page being pulled offline, again. But we saw it this time, we swear, folks. It was real.

AT&T Says iPhone 3GS is Hot in a Good Way | iPhone News Updated - 0 views

  •  
    The iPhone 3GS is hot according to AT&T. No, I'm not talking about the overheating issues, but a alleged leaked memo from the iPhone's exclusive U.S. carrier. In the memo, AT&T reports the iPhone 3GS launch day on June 6 was the best-ever sales day for AT&T retail stores, according to MacDaily News.

iPhone 3Gはジョブズの敗北宣言 - 池田信夫 blog - 0 views

  • iPhoneの3G対応がメディアで話題になっているが、「全米で600万台のベストセラー」だって? パラダイス鎖国では、この程度でベストセラーなのかもしれないが、ノキア1100は2億台、モトローラのRAZRでも5000万台売れてるんだよ。上の図のように、スマートフォンのシェアでもBlackberryの半分にもならない。 事実は逆で、iPhoneは携帯端末としては売れ行き不振だから、AT&Tに補助金をもらって見かけ上の価格を200ドル下げただけのことだ。その代わり、通信料金は2年で240ドル増える。2年以上使ったら、事実上の値上げだ。日本ではソフトバンクが売るようだが、こっちはそういう詐欺的な価格表示はやめたから、4万円ぐらいだろう。
  • もともとiPhoneがAT&Tから出たのは、3Gへの対応が遅れて急成長するベライゾンに抜かれるのが時間の問題だったAT&Tが、ジョブズの「設計にも価格にもいっさい口を出すな」という要求を呑んで屈辱的な契約(プロトタイプを見ることさえ許されなかった)を結んだためだが、ここにきて立場が逆転した。iPhoneの在庫が積み上がり、eBayなどで投げ売りされるようになって、さすがのジョブズもAT&Tの補助金に頼らざるをえなくなったのだ。
  • これでアップルの価格支配力も、iPhoneのポータビリティもなくなる。SIMロックなしのオープンアクセスが当たり前の欧州では、売れないだろう。アメリカではすでにベライゾンがトップになり、700MHz帯ではオープンに移行し、グーグルと提携してAndroidを採用し、2010年にはLTEに移行する計画だ。今ごろ3Gなんて騒いでいるのは1周遅れである。

  • もともとSIMロックして、Skypeなどの外部アプリケーションを締め出すiPhoneの閉鎖的な構造には、ハッカーの批判が強い。それは、いわばジョブズ鎖国の端末であり、iPodのように他の業者がへまな市場とは違って、携帯電話には価格でも性能でも強力なライバルがたくさんいるので、iPhoneはヒットしなかったし、このままでは今後もしないだろう。まぐれ当たりは何度も続かないということだ。

AT&T Facing Prospect of Losing iPhone Exclusivity | iPhone News Updated - 0 views

  •

AT&T offers unlimited calling to any mobile number | iPhone News Updated - 1 views

  •  
    Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it only makes sense both mobile carriers and manufacturers show their loving with some generous deals. Remember how vocal T-Mobile was about its 'free smartphone offerings' for the upcoming special day? We aren't sure if AT&T's recent announcement is intended along the same lines, but unlimited calling to any mobile number only calls for attention.

  •  
    I have a friend who refuses to buy anything used: he insists that all his purchases be untouched by human hands before his. Sure, I can see the appeal to getting something brand-new, but it's also a pretty expensive habit. Fortunately, if you don't have the same hold-ups as my buddy, you can now snag a refurbished iPhone 3G from AT&T.
