iPhone Price is Cutting

Apple Inc. cuts price for an iPhone in half and rolled out new laptops for $300 less than previous models. Apple unveiled two new models of the iPhone — the 3G S — that will sport a faster processor and sought-after features like an internal compass, a video camera and an improved photo camera. A 16-gigabyte version of the 3G S will cost $199 and a 32-gigabyte model will be $299. The 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G, which came out last year, will be cut to $99 from $199.
The iPhone news highlighted a two-hour presentation by Apple executives at their annual conference for software developers.
Despite anticipation that he might make a cameo, Apple CEO Steve Jobs did not take the stage. He is due back from his medical leave at the end of this month.
The newest iPhones go on sale June 19, just as two-year contracts for the buyers of the original models are expiring and Apple’s phone faces tougher competition from the likes of Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc.
Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple were down 90 cents, 0.6 percent, at $143.77 in afternoon trading.
Lowering the price of the least expensive iPhone could be risky for Apple — a bet that the new versions have enough appealing features to keep higher-priced models selling briskly. AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the U.S., said today it’s confident its wireless profit margins will hold steady overall.
Apple might also be banking on expanding the profits it reaps from taking 30 percent of the revenue from downloadable applications on the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
In the updates to the MacBook line, Apple showed off a MacBook Pro laptop with a 13-inch screen that starts at $1,200. A 15-inch model sells for $1,700 and up — both $300 less than existing similar models. The company also lowered the price on its ultra-thin MacBook Air to $1,500 from $1,800.
Reverse Cell Phone Number
by Doc_Ren on Jun.05, 2009, under Lifestile, Tips
For years, people have relied on trusty, bulky phone books to connect a phone number with a name. But in today’s society, people are choosing to use cell phones as their primary phone instead of relying on land lines. This makes it extremely difficult when trying to contact someone who only uses a cell phone. Federal regulations prevent wireless service providers from creating a log book listing numbers of cell phone owners. So if you know a number to someone’s cell phone or a business using a cell phone, how do you go about finding out the name and address of the owner?
The answer is simple. Many web sites offer a reverse number look-up option for land lines, and now this service is extended towards cell phone numbers too. Most sites, such as this one, offer the option of entering in the phone number or entering the name of someone you know, but don’t have their number.
Information samples are usually available on the site you are using to look up a number’s owner. After entering the number, and choosing to pay the fee, you’ll most likely receive the name and address of the person who owns the number you searched. Depending on the site, you can find out where a person lives, who their phone carrier is and whether or not the line is residential or a business.
Reverse look-up may seem like it invades a person’s privacy, but regulations and security blocks are increasing. Although cell phone number don’t possess their own log book like land lines, there is the increasing possibility one will be created in the near future. By having a wireless directory, finding the owner of a cell phone number through the Internet will become easier.
