The iPhone And Me

Apple has really got me thinking about buying an iPhone as my main internet connection device. It may be cheaper than my home phone/DSL connection, and portable after the initial costs. I'm reading about what Apple plans to do with the iPhone on the digital news sites, and it's starting to look like the iPhone will have a WiMax chip in it.

It's difficult to know what's going on with WiMax these days because the Telcos and cable companies are definitely against it. Like a lotta people, I've been following the news about WiMax since the idea of it first began showing up on the tech news sites. I got all worked up about it's possibilities.

WiMax is a threat to a lot of present day businesses and technologies, and they're putting out negative propaganda to negate it's chances of matriculating into the main stream. If Apple puts a WiMax chip in the iPhone, it'll be all over but the shouting. I don't think it will put anybody out of business, but it sure will put a different slant on how people look at the web.
