iPhone: Free Means $400
Image via WikipediaNow that Apple has a new iPhone it is going to give you the old one for free. That is the word. But is it really free? You get saddled with a two year contract, and an old phone. Free means you don't have to pay that first $200. But your monthly bill does not come down, as it would if the phone were really free. Money collected from that two year contract, well, Apple lays claim to part of it. An iPhone costs around 600 bucks. But you don't feel the pain because you get tricked into thinking it costs 200 bucks, the upfront money you pay. But Apple gets 200 from you and 400 from the carrier.
From a "free" phone Apple will keep getting the 400 from the carrier. 70 bucks per month over two years is 1680 bucks. Apple gets 400 of that. Your monthly bill would be more like 55 bucks per month if the phone were truly free.
Met Peter Vesterbacka Of Rovio Of Angry Birds Monday Evening
That is why you want to show up for events. I had no idea he was going to be there. I guess I did not read up the details on the event before I showed up. But it was awesome. It has to have been one of the best MeetUps I ever went to. There was Peter, the biggest name in mobile games, and there was live music, and there was free food - I ate a whole bunch of baby tomatoes.
Events: Week Of October 3
Peter said Angry Birds was "an overnight success in that" they had 51 flop games before they came up with Anngry Birds. Or maybe it was 52 flop games, one of the above.
