		<description>[...]  隨著新款極有價格競爭力3G iPhone推出剛剛到了市場拐點，對於它在移動通信市場的影響有很多猜測。由於iPhone擁有自己的SDK，並加入全球定位系統的能力，對於利用全球定位系統提供的優勢的第三方公司和開發者來說，這是一個好時機。整個這一切，風險資本家已在移動基礎的解決方案和分析投入鉅資，廣告平臺一直在努力延伸到iPhone和其他的手機。      Apploop是一個平臺，它將為開發者提供一個自助服務平臺，為跟蹤移動應用的使用情況和應用服務之上的廣告。它也聲稱是首個實時平臺，並且基於區域的移動廣告網絡。通過平衡iPhone 3G的本土GPS功能， Apploop會為顧客提供一個就近的營業地址，然後給出合適的廣告。這使企業和餐館能吸引附近的消費者，並舉行促銷活動，給予優惠券和折扣。      除了根據地點調整廣告， Apploop向開發商提供了一套綜合的有關使用，地點和會議資訊統計。Apploop提供了自定義操作記錄，這使得追蹤他們最常用的特性成為可能。       Apploop提供基於位置的使用情況和會話資訊，讓發展商可以跟蹤人們在每個區域使用他們的應用的頻率和使用時間。這些功能會允許為更好的廣告機會，也能為如何設計營銷活動提供更好的視野。      廣告客戶儀表板也可以被用來製作廣告和目標消費者，而這些消費者是基於地區或鄰近地區。它也提供了一個選項，讓廣告商過濾他們所需的廣告類型。      移動廣告，特別是基於位置的啟用廣告，是一個大市場。 eMarketer的報告說，移動廣告開支單是今年將達到50億美元。大部分主要廣告網正試圖打造移動網絡或應用程式的廣告平臺，但迄今為止鮮有成功案例。這也似乎是合乎邏輯的，雖然，在這樣一個競爭激烈的市場中，能做大的只是原已佔據著的那些商家。他們有資源，用戶和信任，進入到這個市場的選擇。但它不會組織Apploop公司的嘗試。   [...]</description>

		<description>Man you people getting pissed off at ATT for overpriced iPhone are retards. Its only 199 for 8GB and 36 for activation for new customers--and for people upgrading its only 18. And now there is no shipping fee. The price is good. THE COMPLAINING SHOULD BE FUKIN DONE ABOUT THE WAIT. Now they tell you it takes 10-21 days and average of 13-14 days. But for people who got it through Direct Full fillment the day it came out and ordered priority shipping got it like 3 days ago--It sucks for them. The 3G network works good but it doenst work in all areas. I live outside of town and 3G still sometimes work. And ATT service actually works out it my area. Sprint suks and so does verizon</description>

		<description>I got this from AT&#38;T today. The only way i can get the iphone at $199 is to wait until i have had my contract for 1 year. When that day rolls around i can extend my contract another 2 years and pay $18 for activation. The $18 activation fee is fair because they have to make changes to your account. But i feel tricked as far as the phone pricing goes because no one made it clear that they would be changing the rules. Im not crying or trying to get something for nothing i just think its unfair and definately unexpected from a (good) company like apple.

&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;&#60;
Please be advised that the announced pricing for the iPhone 3G of $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model applies to new activations and existing customers eligible for a discounted upgrade. We show you will be able to receive this pricing on the new iPhone as of 3/29/09. If you wish to purchase the device prior to that date, the cost will be
$399 for the 8GB model and $499 for the 16GB model with the 2 year contract renewal. There will also be an $18 upgrade fee assessed if an iPhone is purchased. 

Please note that you may keep your same voice plan, but we do ask that you add a 3G iPhone data package to your account. We will be offering the $30 unlimited data (email/web) plan that includes visual voicemail and the $45 unlimited data plan that includes personal and corporate email, web, and visual voicemail. You may keep your unlimited text messaging package. The unlimited messaging package will remain priced at $20 if you add the iPhone to your account.</description>

		<description>Hi,

Maybe it can be used as a TV remote. Thus the price tag :-)

Take care,

		<description>In my opinion - iPhone is REALLY overrated from a Pocket PC's users point of view. 

Yea is got Wow factor unitl you need simple things like that Word Doc you wanted to finish on the comute to work, or open a simple photo that someone has sent you.  ATT forces you to login to a web browser to download the file.  I never use it for my work.  If you love music and love the Apple interface - buy an ipod.</description>

		<description>3 months ago when my verizon contract ran out i signed up with att so that i could get an iphone. I did this because of the new 3G $199 iphone rumor that was floating around the web. I got myself the new unlimited everything plan and i have been sitting hear with my mouth watering....dealing with call quality that cant even touch that of verizon in my area (chicago) and now i see some bait and switch poppin off.

I have no problem paying $399. My problem is that the $199 price tag convinced me to give up my blackberry so i could play with something shiney and now i find out its all a lie. Its like getting a super model home and then noticing her adams apple. &#60;---apple get it?

I think it may be cheaper for me to buy out the existing att contract, sign up for a new contract and get the 199 deal and this time i wont give them extra monthly juice by getting the unlimited plan.</description>
