News:
A trio of AT&T stories hit the press this week. In our first, you'll be unsurprised to learn that the carrier ranks dead last in customer satisfaction. Shocker. The second won't make the first look any better as an analyst mulls the likelihood of limited data plans for iPhone users. Worst analysis ever. And finally, on the Verizon front, another media analyst says the iPhone is a non-starter at Verizon. Taken together, all three stories add up to one big frowny face.
And insults seem to be in for the season. Ho ho ho, says Sony, then slams Apple as they try to claw their way back to the glory days of the late eighties early nineties. Good luck with that time machine, boys. In slightly more forward looking news, the Droid's ad team claims the iPhone's just a pretty face while they're the real deal. A little early to be so cocky there, new kid.
On the rumor front, Qualcomm is still possibly, maybe, some day making chips for the iPhone, while it's turbo time as the Mac Pro decides to make super-duper computers with the marketing of the 6-core Intel Core i9.
Finally, on a lighter note, check out a preview of this University of Michigan class putting on a show, an iPhone concert on December 9. Now that's music to our ears.
