With his usual rock 'n' roll swagger, Steve Jobs introduced Apple's new iPhone. But is the $500 phone more than another cell job?
  • If Jobs really wanted to change things....

    He would have made the iPhone a reasonable price, say $199 for the 4GB and no mor ethant $299 for the 8GB. It would have been unlocked so that you could use it with any carrier, as is done in Europe. Everyone would have bought one, and at the same time thumbed their noses at the mobile carriers. Until he's willing or able to change the economic structure of the business, instead of just the technology, it's just another fancy phone I would want but can't afford.
