I still think a no-data iPhone would be a great thing for apple.

The article calls such a device an iPod-Phone. What would make it really interesting if such a device includes all iPod features not found on the iPhone rendition.

Still, makes you wonder about the challenges of implementing such a device. Would we need two types of firmware updates, one for the iPod Phone and one for the iPhone?

No more than what the current models require...

It would, but ATT would bawl like babies! LOL

they've gotta be used to it by now.

But how would AT&T feel about it? I guess they wouldn't mind as long as they are getting money for a voice plan. Good read Larry.

They'd better introduce another iPhone - my V1's dying, fast. Hopefully it'll be something bigger and better, however, so that I'll have reason to buy it..

On the topic of Apple's stock rating remaining "buy", I agree. It's dipped quite a bit since it's all time high of $201 per share last year, but it remains the only stock that has a green percentage box amongst a lot of red whenever I open the stocks app.

Another interesting take on the subject.

Ditto. My battery ain't what it used to be. Not a problem yet, but soon... That and I unknowingly plugged my car charger in with snow and rock salt stuck in it, giving me the dreaded airplane mode warning for over an hour. Fortunately, I air blasted it and dried it out and that seems ok. For now.

I doubt a no-data-plan iPhone will ever come out. Seems like it would make sense, but both Apple and AT&T will probably make plenty of money just not doing that.
