I was reading a article in last sundays New York times, titled  
"Mobile Web: So Close Yet so Far". In the third paragraph the writer  
mentions the development of "... a frenzied and costly effort to  
build third-generation, or 3G, networks ensued. But at a recent  
conference, 3G was called a failure...".
Then in todays Courier, in the business section I noticed a small  
paragraph in the digest column that says that , "Apple and AT&T plan  
to begin selling a version of the iPhone next year that operates on a  
wireless network for surfing the internet at fast speeds. AT&T chief  
executive, Randall Stephenson said that consumers could expect an  
iPhone that works on "3G" networks sometime in 2008. That would  
address a major shortcoming of the iPhone."  ( I have edited these  
quotes some)

So, being kind of bored this afternoon I thought I would throw this  
out to some of the tech experts in the group, of which I am surely  
not. Does this mean what I think it means. My iPhone is now morphing  
into a door stop? Maybe Apple will do this with a software upgrade,  
or issue a token voucher for anyone who bought one in 07' toward a  
new one. Or maybe my interpretation of these articles is all wrong.  
Something to think about over the weekend.

Thanks
