iPhone 2.0 will be Smaller and *gasp* Cheaper

On its tech and business blog, Fortune is reporting AT&T will offer a $200 subsidy when the next generation iPhone is released this summer.

The blog entry goes on to state:

The new iPhone will be 2.5 mm thinner than the 11.7 mm original. The iPhone will also have a GPS chip for navigation and other location-based services.

Well there you have it. Could I be any more stoked about my Verizon wireless contract (two years!) and its five phone lines finally coming to an end this summer!?

Good things do come to those who wait, and iPhone 2.0 promises to be a fantastic reward for the hell I had to endure.

The only thing to rain on this parade would be some resentful geeks looking to extract yet another Apple credit.

Yeah, sure. No consumer apprehension there.

Get over yourselves. You guys camped out, waited in rock concert-style lines and asininely complained about being reimbursed for your greedy desires -- just to be the first to show off the gadgets and brag to everyone about how cool you are.

Yes, $400 (or 66% markup) cooler. I'm so jealous. I think I'll be three iPhones for the price you paid.
