As I posted elsewhere, GSM makes pretty good sense for this phone
and for Apple. But I won't do business with Cingular. Their
network coverage has been somewhat spotty for me, and their
customer service (and billing) has been a nightmare. T-Mobile's
coverage has been better where I need it to be, and they
have been a pleasure to work with.

I suspect that part of Apple's failure with the ROKR was
the tie-in to Cingular, too.

But it seems likely that a non-cell-phone version of this
device will have to be in the works, too.
