Unlocked iPhones in US For $649

Endoflow2010 writes "Apple on Tuesday started selling an unlocked version of its iPhone 4, starting at $649. A 16GB unlocked iPhone 4 will set you back $649, while a 32GB version is selling for $749. Both are available in black or white; the black will ship within one to three business days, while the white is available in three to five days, according to the Apple Web site. The benefit of an unlocked phone is that you are not locked into a two-year contract with a particular provider. But it also means that you don't get the subsidized pricing provided by someone like AT&T or Verizon. The same phones with a contract cost $199 and $299."

Google should sue Apple over patent infringement

[Omnifarious]

Selling an unlocked phone was Google's thing. Apple is stealing Google's idea. Really, do you think Apple would've ever done it had Google not done it first?

In the spirit of how Apple would like IP law to work when it's working for them, I think Google should sue Apple over the idea.
