AT&T did say that prices would be lower, but I think that was only for the new people coming in.

Now I am even more excited than before. Monday, can't get here soon enough. I took off of work yesterday knowing that I wanted to take off on the 8th too. I don't think I can be at work all day while the announcement is going on. I hope someone posts some streaming links.

Thanx again iphun!

No problem! Here's iChat on the mac, so we would probably see a condensed version of it http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat.html

I have also heard that Fido doesn't charge extra to tether and didn't have a problem with people doing on 3.0. They include tethering into their data plans but at&t doesn't, so that's where I could see them charging us. But then again iChat is different from tethering since you will have to talk to someone using a 3rd gen iphone, unless they make it possible to chat with a Mac. I just don't see a massive amount of iChat traffic to let at&t worry about the network being stressed.

I know!! I am glad I have monday off, I just wouldn't be able to pay attention to anything other than iphone news. I used http://live.gdgt.com/ for the 3.0 keynote, but I don't know if they'll be covering WWDC because there's no mention of it on the site. But don't worry there will be tons of live sites popping up soon.
