Um... this IS Apple we are talking about. If anyone thinks a new iPhone will be out in 6 months, you are smoking crack. Apple does NOT 'outdate' their stuff as quickly as many other things get outdated. This is a good thing. A lot of fan boys here, you people should know this.
That is one thing I've always liked about Apple... sure the laptop might be more expensive then a Windows laptop, but it won't be outdated by the time you get it home. I predict the iPhone2 will be out in MAYBE 2 years... right when all these contracts expire.

And a "cheaper" iPhone is at least one year away. They won't drop the price for awhile, just like with computers. So 12 months from now when it is still $499/$599, no one s going to feel ripped off.
