this is old news, apple will use 3G/4G/??, but they are working hard to
fix the current 3G chip design first, then helping AT&T build out the
network if Steve gives the go ahead.

Hard to say what the future of 3G is until that happens. Steve may go
with WiMax or 4G, or something entirely unseen at this point, so the
Cell Companies have to wait on Steve to show his hand until they can
move forward.

Hopefully that will be known Tuesday morning / Jan 15th in San Fran,
this is the same event that totally upstaged CES last year, so it's
going to be an impressive morning.

Only 45 days away...

Are you going?

You said they would never use 3g.

No they're not- a real technology comapny will be providing the chip.

False.

Wait a minute- I don't see your free wifi on that list. Are you saying
that wifi will be dead soon?
