i think Apple was a little too late with this though. if they had expanded outside of AT&T a year ago their numbers would have exploded, but now Android has largely caught up and surpassed the iPhone in terms of power and capability. as already mentioned it's just getting WiFi hotspots, which Android has had for a long time
i never understood Apple's decision to make their phone an AT&T exclusive in the first place, AT&T must have paid them a hell of a lot of money
