iPhone Release Date Is June 29

Posted by kdawson on from the lines-form-now dept.

willith writes "Apple has placed three iPhone commercials on their Web site today, and each ends with a tag: 'Coming June 29.' This puts to rest the question of when the thing will hit the streets, but there are still worries about allocation — AppleInsider is reporting that the supplies at Cingular/AT&T stores may be relatively tight." And some fanatic sites are already parsing the ads for such enigmas as the "mystery app."

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Wait you've been able to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, got the feeling to eat calamari, look up seafood in Google maps and then make a call to the restaurant? All on your Blackberry, 3 years ago?

    I'm not saying it's a new innovation but leaving out select details kinda kills your argument.

    Right from the beginning, at the speech made by Jobs at MacWorld, he mentioned that the iPhone was going to be sold for $499/$599 with a two-year contract with Cingular (now AT&T). This is on par with other high-end devices on all carriers. They never said that the price was going to be for the unemcumbered unit.
