Just wanted to point out that it is all but confirmed that there will be a new iPhone. The Palm Pre is being released on June 6th, and Apple is planning on a release as well to compete with it. Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference is on June 9, which is where the last 2 iPhone models were revealed. You can assume with 95% certainty there will be a new iPhone revealed on June 9th. (they have a history of making some products available immediately as well, although I don't think that was the case with the iPhone) If I'm wrong feel free to smite.
Again, remember I would 100% love for a new iPhone to come out because it makes me about an extra $3000 a month (for about 2-3 months) when new models come out...
Apple/AT&T have hyped up the new iPhones in the past, up to 6 months in advance... Why change that now?
AT&T has vacation blackouts when iPhones are released because stores need to be fully/over staffed. This HAS NOT happened yet...
So until I get ANYTHING concrete this is just more of the same damn speculation I've been hearing for the past 4 months!
FYI - The Palm Pre isn't going to touch the iPhone... Another manufacturor joins the party late... G1 Andriod is going to KILL the iPhone, WRONG. Maybe the Blackberry Storm?? WRONG!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

I never said the iPhone would be released June 9th, just that's when it would be announced. Because Apple actually knows how to release products, they will wait until there is enough supply to not sell out immediately, unlike the palm.
And yes I realize the iPhone will still dominate over palm and android, atleast for another year or two. The reasoning is that companies release hardware in a similar style as software, in the sense that the first version is considered a beta. The android G1 sucked, it was a beta. Now google knows every reason why it sucked and can fix it for the next version. there will be no less than 18 android phones released in the next 12 months, but you cant compare that to iphone sinse android is just an OS (potentially a good one)
The palm pre is palm's re-entrance into what evolved into the smartphone market, and is their beta product. They don't expect it to dominate, just get enough market share to figure out all of it's issues and such. The first iPhone was a beta as well. it was obviously revolutionary, but had plenty of shortcomings. some of them were fixed with the 3g, most to all of whats left will be fixed with version 3.0.
another example that popped into my head is the original xbox. from a hardware perspective it was pretty basic, but microsoft's goal was simply to create momentum to sign lots of partners and software developers for their next platform, the obviosly successful 360. in the same sense, don't expect the pre to dominate, expect the pre's predecessor to dominate, after there is a software developer market and a descent ammount of apps to compete with apple's app store. Same thing with blackberry storm. once again, a beta product with the purpose to start a software development community to start working on apps as well. storm 2 is already in works, and will be infinitely more successful than the first (also doing away with the clickscreen)
Apple fanboys love bashing the competition, me included to some extent, but you should realize that the competition is the only thing that advances apple. they could easily have released an iphone with better hardware, more memory, more everything, but they just wait for competition to catch up, than release the next level up. so even if you are a fanboy, you should be hoping competition comes out with good products as well, to keep apple on their toes so to speak.

sorry had a really long day and needed to vent
I would also advise against anyone wanting to use the bonnaroo app. its obviously useful, but I would much rather be lost at roo than be able to pinpoint my coordinates between stages and such

Crunchies for the rant... I too enjoy ranting sometimes Well stated points. I tend to get defensive of the iPhone seeing how I work for AT&T and that thing has been a golden goose for us! I ::gasp:: am not looking forward to when it inevitably stops being only available on our network...

Haha yes the iPhone has been good to AT&T. Supposedly AT&T is in talks with Apple to extend their contract, but almost no info has ever been leaked about their current deal or when it ends, let alone an extension. And I used to feel bad or AT&T employees when iPhones are released, kinda like having to work on black friday. But not so much anymore now that I know what kind of dough you guys are rolling in from it... I'm assuming the 3 grand comes from commission?
Contrary to the promises in this thread, we will NOT see a Bonnaroo iPhone app. Too many hurdles.
Do you have inside info or something? Last I heard was that it would be out a week before Bonnaroo. That was coming from the developers Twitter page @bonnarooapp:
"Should be this early this week. Right now we are still at the mercy of the apple approval process! We will keep you posted" - May 31st
If it isn't pushed through and approved by Apple by this weekend I propose the developers seed it to file share sites so folks who have jailbroken/cracked iPhones can take advantage of all the hard work and not let it all go to waste!

Oh ya, when they come out we blow over our monthly goals, and our commission gets ramped up... Last year, in july/august/september, everytime I sold an iPhone I was putting about $40+ in my pocket!

Sooooo payment...how long have you guys had the new iPhone 3Gs that releases Jun 19th. How long have you known about it!!

Yes the 19th, my mistake! Anyway, AT&T totally dropped the ball! I work for them and this is horseshit! How are they not ready for MMS? EVERY other device can do it, why is the iPhone different?!?! Tethering isn't a HUGE surprise because I think AT&T are at odds about how/what they want to charge for the service... Overall I am just excited that I am not going to miss the launch day! I get a sweet Bonnaroo vacation, and come home just in time to sell new iPhones!

I wish I new in advance! But I totally would have leaked the info... So I guess they were smart in not trusting anyone... I still don't know why they didn't hype this up more... Anywho I am officially on VACATION!!! I get to go play tetris with all my camping gear in the trunk of my car for the next couple hours!

Well now I wish I had an iPhone. Darn. Maybe next Roo I can have a fun app to get me informed. I guess I'll just have to be uncool with all my paper stuff and my BlackJack. lol

It's handle I will give it to them...but some of the times don't seem right so I don't know which one to trust exactly. I will re look at it soon though. I like it for the most part

This is a seriously disappointing app. My biggest gripes are that they didn't include the cinema tent at all in the "set list" schedule, they left bands off the schedule entirely (Heypenny) and they epicly misspelled at least one band ("Protomen" are not "Protoband"). I know Nashville's local bands aren't Phish or anything, but they deserve to at least be on the list/have their band name written correctly.
A LOT more basic then I would have hoped... But I guess it's cool it made the cut! Anyway, trying to find something to be excited about with this app... Not really coming to me... It's a map and a possibly incorrect schedule...
