Interesting. They probably feel that the public opinion is shifting one them in Apple's favor. Daring Fireball had an interesting post showing the Android prototype before the iPhone appeared. Steve Jobs was right when he said that Google copied …

If Apple is serious about making a play for the living room then they should think about gaming. I don't see Apple challenging Microsoft or Sony for the throne. Heck, they could port iOS games if they wanted to and use iPhones as controllers.

Looks like a winner! I only have to wait one more year before I can upgrade from my 3G because in Canada, you have to sign a 3 year contract! On the flip side, we can actually make calls

"Huberty has also been a proponent of Apple and carriers offering a lower cost of ownership for the iPhone. " Agreed. This goes against Apple's philosophy of being a niche/high-end product but I think one very important debate they should have…
