AT&T throwing a huge pile of money is a 50/50 proposition. I think 3G IPads are the consolation prize for losing the Iphone exclusivity. |

Probably like most unattributed financial rumors. By leaks given out on the golf course by mid to high level execs of the companies involved. |

Maybe the fact that no matter how much Apple fankids whine about ATT, Apple DOESNT CARE. They've made that abundantly clear now.

This is becoming increasingly evident in their business decisions, and is the reason I keep second guessing whether i would buy an iPhone if they ever did bring it to Verizon.
I Love my Ipod, I love my iTunes season passes on my favorite shows, but i'm not sure i want to tie myself into a commitment to a product like that of theirs. |

We have a winner.
Like with so many other of their products, they know the demand is inelastic and as long as it works at all they'll still sell millions of them no matter how irritating the user experience is.
Why should they care? People are still buying while they whine, and that's all that matters. |
