iPhone Available for Sale Without AT&T Contract
According to this internal Apple document, iPhones can now be sold at full price to folks without AT&T service: $499 for the 8GB 3G, $599 for the 16 GB 3GS, and $699 for the 32 GB 3GS.

Video: Opera officially demos Opera Mini on the iPhone, say they submitted their app for approval
Opera is playing the public sympathy card and showing the world what browsing on EDGE is like on Opera Mini versus Apple’s native Safari browser.

Dark Horse Comics Releasing Something Horrible on the iPhone, Dr. Horrible That Is
Internet musical sensation Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog first came to the scene in the Summer of 2008. The 42 minute long “blog” starred Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day and for the most part was a huge success. But in order to understand the complexity of Dr. Horrible, we’d have to go back to his origins, and that’s…
China Mobile asks Apple to make iPhone variant for its home-grown 3G network
China Mobile has yet to bring the Apple iPhone under its wing, but that doesn’t mean it’s not trying. Following years of butting heads with Apple over revenue-sharing negotiations, China Mobile is apparently crawling back to Steve Jobs in hopes that the iPhone Godfather will give the wireless network an iPhone variant that’s compatible with…
Apple sends select iPad devs tablet ‘tester’ under strict security
