10th June 08: Steve Job's unveiled the new cheaper iPhone yesterday and "Carry On"

I always watch/listen/read about Apple's announcements carefully.  Where Apple leads, the rest of the mobile manufacturers and operators no doubt follow. 

Yesterday's announcement were on the whole predicted by many Apple watchers.   Thus, nothing suprising as far as I could tell.  Though, if Apple were to replace all iPods in the hands of consumers with an iPhone - well now that is a worrying thought if I were a phone manufacturer.  A case of someone seems to have eaten my lunch.

Apple set to slash iPhone prices to life sales, by FT Reporters

Apple on Monday sought to boost the limited appeal of its acclaimed, but modestly selling, iPhone as it announced that new models would sell for as little as half the price of the first version.  The new model will be three times faster and use wireless technology!

The drastic cuts, which will bring the price of an 8-gigabyte model down to $199 and a 16GB version to $299, largely reflect subsidies from mobile operators who hope to make money from selling data services with the handsets, according to people familiar with the arrangements.

The song for today is: Carry On - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRLEqTNt5sM

Yes, my love of Ben's Brother continues...though, the end if coming near!
