This wouldn't be such a big deal if you could buy iPhones unlocked that would work across networks, but you can't, at least not cheaply. Since Apple shunned all providers except for ATT and now Verizon, consumers had less choice.This merger paves the way for T-Mobile users to finally get the option of getting an iPhone. This isn't about Android vs. iOS, it'a about choice. Right now I have only the choice of Android and I don't want an Android. I have one and hate the crashes and lack of support for the rest of my Apple ecosystem.
In my area, T-Moble service has gone down hill. Over the last couple of years my signal strength at home has dropped. T-Mobile needs another tower, but hasn't put one up. In the summer, I sometime have to go outside to use the phone. Cost is irrelevant if service is lacking.
I hope approval is swift and merger is complete. I want choice, choice I don't have.
If Apple wants to get the school crowd they need to get a new one out VERY soon. I don't think waiting until the end of the school year for an Intel based iBook is good for business. The only reason to consider buying one now is for the iPod mini is you are a college student.
It wouldn't matter if it only ran on Bill Gates underware soaked in electrolytes, I will us a Mac. Scrape the intel inside sticker off and it won't be any different then before.

Apple is not going to enter the PDA market, just like Steve said!

This is a given. Which would Intel like to be associated with, the latest secruity breach or virus or elegant industrial design that works.
The assessment backs an earlier decision by the White House to scuttle the Hubble.
The President actually expects us to believe this? I guess if you stack the committees with enough of your own "scientists" you can get pigs to fly.
