Could Apple Destroy The Cell Phone Industry?
Posted by Rocco Augusto in "Smartphone Talk" @ 04:10 PM
Wow... I love how everything is magically better in the land of make believe. For starters, when exactly did Google and Apple start sharing a bed? I wouldn't call a few widgets for the iPhone and intimate relationship and I definitely wouldn't try to make their relationship sound as thrilling and exciting as an episode of Dallas. Also how in the world could Apple be upset with their relationship with the new AT&T? From my understanding, Apple managed to strong arm themselves into an arrangement that not only gave the one trick pony of a company a large profit margin on their handsets, but also gives them a cut of the profit AT&T makes each month by forcing customer to activate their phones with data packages that they might not even use or want! If anyone should be upset, it should be the other handset makers that have been marking phones for the carrier for years and have to sit back and watch as the newcomer gets all of the special treatment.
