Three iPhone Carriers That Make AT&T Look Like a Deal
When Steve announced the iPhone 3G on stage at WWDC, one of the more interesting tidbits was the mention of a locked-in maximum price of $199/$299 in every launch country. But if you listened closely, you would have heard the key qualifier: "almost every country." Some deviation from the U.S. price is unavoidable, which is why Steve hedged his statement, but users in three countries in particular—Canada, Belgium, and Spain—are getting taken out back and walloped, each in their own special way.

Nike+iPod Patent Shows Heart Rate, Temperature and Hydration Monitors

Sprint Finally Offers $99 'Simply Everything' Flat Rate Calling Plan
It's not the super cheap $59 plan everyone was hoping for, but it has finally joined the other three carriers in offering a $99 unlimited plan. Sprint's version includes unlimited voice, data, text messages, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS, Direct Connect and Group Connect. This seems like it's even better than most of the other plans (Verizon and AT&T's are for voice only, and T-Mobile's is for voice and messaging). Good job Sprint! [BusinessWire]

Xbox 360 Failure Rate: 30%, Says Retailers
We always knew the Xbox 360 failure rate was high, but the only time Microsoft's put any sort of solid numbers on the thing it was always somewhere around 5%. Retailers, on the other hand, have just reported a failure rate of somewhere over 30%. That's pretty ridonkulous. It's a good thing Microsoft support is usually pretty good about taking them back, so you don't have to go all Picard and shout about how many lights there are over the phone. More »
