So, you think your iPhone is still a device only for those rolling in the dough? Think again.I'm sure by now you heard about the rumors that the iPhone 3G will be sold at Wal*Mart. I know that story angered those who feel that the iPhone should be a status symbol like a Mercedes.
Now, MacRumors.com is reporting that Costco could be selling the iPhone 3G in January for $149.
Keep in mind that the iPhone started out at $599 when it debuted in June 2007. The 8GB 3G currently sells for $199 and the 16GB goes for $299. Evidently, the economic downturn has forced Apple to widen its consumer net.
Ultimately, this is good news for iPhone users because a bigger user base means more support for innovative software. And, hopefully, Apple will get its act together and give us everything they promised at the WWDC back in June 2008.

It sounds stupid but I wish Apple released a more expensive/better version of the iPhone for people like me.
I miss having people come to me and say "OMG, is this an iPhone?". I really enjoyed the social status. But that's just me... I'm kinda superficial like that ;-)
