Live coverage of WWDC 2008 starts Monday morning
We'll be covering Apple's annual WWDC conference live on Monday, starting at 10 a.m. PDT.
(Credit: Apple)If you want blow-by-blow coverage of Apple CEO Steve Jobs' keynote address on Monday, make sure to pay us a visit before 10 a.m. PDT for our live report.
I'll be inside Moscone West on Monday morning, where we expect Apple to unveil a new iPhone and talk more about the next version of Mac OS X at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. We'll be posting live updates every few minutes from the conference hall, and will have photos of the new iPhone and anything else that gets introduced Monday morning as soon as humanly (or networkly) possible.
After the keynote, make sure to come back to CNET later in the day for complete coverage of WWDC, including initial impressions of any new products and video of the keynote address.

He has written about traditional PC companies, chip manufacturers, and mobile computers, spending the last three years covering Apple. E-mail Tom.
The reason they charge for the Touch is that it was an upfront sale, whereas the iPhone is booked over 24 months, which allows Apple to give new options to end-users for free on the iPhone but as a sale to the Touch.
It is similar to the issue on upgrading to Wifi N-standard on the MacBook Pro's, where Apple charged a nominal fee.
Again, this has nothing to do with Apple, this has to do with US-Government, Tax and Accounting Regulations.

(9 Comments)The published price being advertised all over for the new apple iphone 3G is $199?what they are not telling you is that price is only for new ATT customers and those current ATT customers who happen to be eligible for an equipment upgrade (according to ATT, upgrade eligibility is ?generally? determined by the amount of time remaining on a current contract). For all those current ATT customers who do not happen to be at the end of their contract, the actual price for you is $399 plus an $18 upgrade fee along with a new 2-year contract. ATT is penalizing their long-time, account in good standing, customers a whopping $200. Why is the actual price of the new iphone not being advertised for what it is?$399? It?s the same price as the old iphone with an increase in the data plan.
