An “inside source”, which we all know is about as trustworthy as a 30 year old woman living on the streets with an dependence to crystal meth, has told Hot Hardware that on Wed, the day Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) is going grasp an event and finally bring to orgasm all the Apple Tablet fanbois after one of the longest foreplay session in recorded history, AT&T will lose their iPhone exclusivity.
If true, it would mean that Apple could start merchandising the iPhone unlocked, similar to how they already do in Commonwealth of Australia, and several European and Asiatic countries. That would be awesome for citizenry like me to refuse to signboard contracts, and it would be awesome for T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) who is the only other GSM provider in the United States. Verizon (New York Stock Exchange: VZ) and Sprint (New York Stock Exchange: S) use CDMA so Apple would have to design a new iPhone to run on those networks.
This ties in very well with what I’ve been meter reading on the network that the tablet will supposedly run on both AT&T and Verizon, substance it has a Qualcomm Gobi wireless interior. That being said, I still believe that the iSlate/iTablet/iPad doesn’t exist and on Jan 27th I’ll be proven right.
If I’m legal injury then the Rapture is going to happen. Stock up on your bibles people!
