for a company with a progressive image, (keep in mind I love Apple products) they sure do have some shady business practices. We all know the story of the guy who made a film and started the campaign exposing the ipods initial inability to recharge the battery, when he was told he had to buy another one.

Darn it, I sold some AAPL at $145 then some more at $156 thinking that I would buy them back when it dips after earnings as in the past. Now I only have less than half of AAPL and seems I already missed the train as I don't see this stock ever going back to $150 range a painful lesson learned believing the AAPL FUDsters.

Doesn't this tell you something about demand for the device? People want it so bad they will pay scalpers to fly to New York and get one for them! Apple is goinng to sell a ton of Iphones when it gets distribution set up. The stock looks cheap today..

But, most of the unlocking programs were sold or downloaded before the price drop on the iPhone. So, it seems that the unlocking software largely went unused. There may be another group that has bought iPhones and is waiting to see what will happen with Apple upgrades and the SDK before using unlocking software. Regardlessly, once legally unlocked iPhones are available anywhere, the market for unlocking software in the United States will be over.
