Default Got my tC on TV...

Hey gang ... I'm a reporter in Houston and did a goofy little story on the iPhone price cut yesterday. I did something I've never done by driving my own car as part of the story.

It's a boring car, really. Nothing but leather and tint done to it.

Just thought I'd share ... so enjoy!

Funny stuff!!

Apple is discontinuing the 4GB iPhone already. They are going to come out with a 16GB iPhone and keep the 8GB one around as well.

One of the reasons I plan to wait to get an iPhone is the network. When they upgrade the EDGE to the 3G, I'm all over it.

By the time it jumps to 3G it'll probably be a whole new product... I would think the phone would have to be a little bigger... etc. I've been satisfied with the edge... and in Houston.... wifi hospots pop up all over.

About my $200... I actually did get it back through American Express.... god bless the Gold Card... I knew that $90/year was good for something.
