Remember the old 8GB 3G iPhones from back in the day (sure you know months ago), well AT&T has quite a few in surplus and is unloading the refurbed smartphones for as low as $49 a pop

Earlier in July Apple put forth a software update for the music downloading service iTunes. The update prevented the Palm Pre from syncing with the popular service. Prior to the update, iTunes recognized the Palm Pre as an iPod within your computer. At that point you were able to easily perform the same exact file downloads as the iPhone could.
Once this iTunes 8.2.1 update took place which required "verification of Apple devices", one of Plam pre's main functions went away.
Presently Palm is battling back with its current update ,1.1.0. This will reverse Apples update. By allowing Pre users to enter the menu, then hit the gift box icon with the "update" label to begin download. A quick Wi Fi network is recommended for this action.
The 1.1.0 update will once again let Palm Pre users to sync with iTunes.
If Apple throws out another checkmate in the future Palm users may want to try a free web based PC service named "Dazzboard" it claims to be able to do the job of the 1.1.0. update

Apple and AT&T's exclusive agreement is probably not the best way to sell the maximum amount of iPhones.
Apple made a deal with AT&T to lock down the iPhones so that they would solely run on the company's network. The agreement has opened the door for 'hacks' to create software so the phone can be unlocked from the network.
The result of numerous consumer questionnaires suggest that more folks would purchase the iPhone if it were made available through a different wireless company.
More specifically the results of those mentioned polls showed that over 10% of the participating cell phone consumers would purchase an iPhone if was made available with another network. Dropped calls and limited coverage may be the number one and two reasons for such discontent.
Chief Operating Officer of Apple Tim Cook has stated:
"the relationship with AT&T is strong and he is happy."
So while not every customer is thrilled with this agreement, Apple does not seem to be hurting, they are still scoring record profits.
