yeah, There was a post in the User comments for the article that made me chuckle... to paraphrase: "This is all happening because Congress must have a deal with Verizon so the Senators can't get the gov to buy iPhones for them... " tee hee
It would be great if if resulted in devices not being carrier specific... Not just the iPhone.. there are some great devices that come out in Euro and Asia that never see the light of day here because the carriers have such a lock on what they let on their networks...
but here I am preaching to the choir!
