@coketown: then why does it say "Announcement Day = 100"?

@Anonymoose: a big chunk of the issue is that the carriers have their fingers in the pot, making the stew all funky.

@Rosa Golijan: no need to correct, Yahoo isn't really a choice!

@isights: makes perfect sense. Thanks for the info!

iPhone looks pretty nice (I am liking the pixel density, though the aspect ratio is somewhat lame).

@dcdttu: I am not going to be getting an iPhone, and can't say that image blows me away (it's decent, but still not as good as most point/shoots), but I will agree with everything you said.

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the change in renewal cycle. Clearly AT&T is worried about something and wants to get people locked into a new contract. My guess is that the iPhone will be hitting other carriers. With the new bands on the iP4, I wouldn't be surprised to see unlocked versions floated.

@orionburcham: I am not talking about the quote - the whole interview in general.

He looks incredibly defensive. I wonder if Apple is getting scared at all with the bad press that is kind of circulating. Granted, it's not all bad, but it's certainly more than they have been familiar with for quite while. Might even venture to guess that is the reason behind this rare 'interview'. They are…

@Robotronic: The story is still questionable, but thankfully, the phone in it is very legit and looks pretty damn good in the other images posted on howard forums.
