IPHONE: THE $1,975 IPOD

Every living thing knows about iPhone. Apple and AT&T saw to that in their
unprecedented campaign to prime demand for a mobile device that has been
dubbed "revolutionary" and "game changing." After nine days doing nothing
but living, breathing, and dissecting a 4GB iPhone, I am captivated by it.
I'd challenge any gadget hound to find a more satisfying, status-elevating
way to blow half a grand.

LAWMAKERS: NEW WIRELESS RULES NEEDED

U.S. consumers should be allowed to take phones along with them when they
switch wireless carriers, and spectrum to be auctioned through the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission should include rules requiring the winning
bidders to sell access to competitors at wholesale rates, some U.S.
lawmakers said Wednesday.
