No Shortage of iPhones at Launch
The article also notes that Apple does not anticipate a sell-out of the initial three million units, meaning all of those folks who just paid $1,500 for iPhone "pre-orders" on eBay are now contemplating a stroll into oncoming traffic.
In other iPhone news, a fourth TV spot has been released showing the now famous, impeccably manicured hand surfing the Web. The most interesting part of the ad, however, is what is not shown: the "Use requires minimum new 2-year activation plan" tagline that has appeared at the end of all the other ads thus far. In fact, if you look back at the older ads on Apple's site now, you'll find the tagline missing there as well.
This isn't the first inkling we've had that the iPhone may be available with no-strings-attached, but we hope this one confirms it.

Gates won the war on software, marketing and negotiating muscle, but...Jobs - Apple, was always the 'artist'. Another bow to the master of motivation, innovation in Cupertino !
The day of my current contract is over, I am standing at the door of AT & T for mine... A PDA, an iPOD and a cool phone, not seen before...
Thank you 'Pirate(s) of Silicon Valley !
