AT&T Subsidy of Apple's iPhone Would Have Dramatic Effect - Bernstein [View article]
"Apple has underestimated the impact of gray-market unlocked iphones, and they are hurting carriers' iphone sales all over the world."
You don't understand the "inner game". The point of the iPhone is not to sell iPhones, however profitable they may be. The point is to get developers using the iPhone SDK. These guys automatically learn how to write software for the Macintosh, and, thus, become likely "switchers" and serve to diminish the Mac vs. Windows "developer gap". More Mac apps leads to more Mac USERS.
