IPHONE: THE $1,975 IPOD

Every living thing knows about iPhone. Apple and AT&T saw to that in
their unprecedented campaign to prime demand for a mobile device that
has been dubbed "revolutionary" and "game changing." After nine days
doing nothing but living, breathing, and dissecting a 4GB iPhone, I am
captivated by it. I'd challenge any gadget hound to find a more
satisfying, status-elevating way to blow half a grand.

scientists.

LAWMAKERS: NEW WIRELESS RULES NEEDED

U.S. consumers should be allowed to take phones along with them when they
switch wireless carriers, and spectrum to be auctioned through the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission should include rules requiring the
winning bidders to sell access to competitors at wholesale rates, some
U.S. lawmakers said Wednesday.
