    This can only mean ONE thing. NO NEW iPHONES. :(


    There's no way AT&T would be unloading these unless it meant no new iPhones for at least another year. Maybe two. I'm thinking someone got spooked by the Pre and went back to the drawing board.

    @frigg: Perhaps my sarcasm detector is failing me--AT&T's move in the event that the IPhone was delayed would be to keep pricing status quo, not to unload them now. Perhaps they're looking to unload all the 1st/2nd gen's in this fiscal quarter prior to the launch of the next gen, which I would assume will mesh with both AT&T's and Apple's 2nd EOQ and give significant boosts to their 3rd quarter as well, since the launch is suspected to be June/July. Exhausting their refurb stores now probably also allows them to ramp for the same program with the 3rd+ gen.

    @fluidexistence: I agree.


    However, with all the excitement over new iPhones rippling through the comments like turrets, I figured someone should offer an alternative point of view, just for balance. Nonetheless, of course you're right!

    @TechFanErik: Most of it is being soft-peddled by Apple-friendly sites. There was a lovely piece in Seeking Alpha about how Apple's accounting practices with deferred revenue from iPhone sales are screwing up the company. Also, iPhone sales dropped 24% in Q4.


    And even though most of the disclosure is somewhat available, AAPL took a 5% hit today.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I'd strongly urge you to get the plain white Macbook if you're interested in a budget Mac laptop to do some editing. The 2.5" HD swap is a breeze, it has the FW400 port, and has a good C2D processor in it. It's the same price, and you get more.

    In reply to Dealzmodo: Refurbished MacBook Air For $999

    finding a MacBook Air below $1000 is an absolute steal


    You know your product is quality when the price drops more than half in a matter of a few months. And after I wait a few more months and it is below $500, what will we call the "steal", then? Maybe the "steal returned"?

    @Kaiser-Machead: First, I am deeply honoured that you would even respond to one of my comments Machead-san.


    I understand that it is a more powerful machine, I take issue with the fact that relatively crippled and does not provide a great deal of extra utility for ~2-3x the price. Clearly a 7" Netbook is not competitive but a 9-10" would let you office and surf to your hearts content.

    @Cyborg28: Point taken :) It's just that.....after dealing with a couple of netbooks recently, I couldn't even so much as watch a video properly on those netbooks without some serious lag. Granted, if you bought a Macbook Air to just watch videos, you win the financia-fail award.

    @Qwertyfreak is trying to think of a new screen-name.: On one hand, a device like this really has notable advantage over the printed word if one is using it primarily for leisure reading, such as novels and the like. However, I can easily see why such a device would be very convenient for periodicals, newspapers, text books, technical manuals, and other bits of text that are meant either for bite-sized consumption or reference purposes.
