Good article Larry, did you notice why AT&T is happy with that
arrangement?

"AT&T is finding that an exclusive on the iPhone draws in new
customers and lures existing ones to buy more expensive data plans.
Carriers will keep paying Apple big kickbacks so long as its phones
still stand out from the pack. "

Also

"Still to Mr. Munster, this is incredibly bullish news for Apple
investors. The higher revenue, of course, compounds Mr. Munster's
already optimistic view of the IPhones sales prospects. He figures
Apple will sell a total of 3.4 million iPhones this year, 12.9 million
next year and 45 million in 2009. The boom, he suggests, will come
from increased features such as navigation and faster data speeds, as
well as a lower price. He figures the average price of the iPhone, now
$399 in this country, will drop to $300 in two years."

Just about everyone I know wants an iPhone which is sort of an
indicator that the above may play out as indicated by analyst Munster.
