Apple Apple today announced the long awaited iPhone, a device that I predicted about years 1.5 ago that it would happen (I won't forget how a fellow editor from a Mac site emailed me to say that I am crazy after reading my blog back then). But the iPhone is real, and it's public information now. So based on the little we know about the device so far, let's see how it stacks up against its smartphone competition.

That's nice. But you realize you're comparing the competitors' unlocked prices today to Apple's subsidized price in six months, right?

Given the history of phones, in six months, with a 2 year contract, you're probably going to be able to get any of the phones you mentioned for under half the price of the Apple phone at that time; in many cases, for a quarter of the price or less.
