The iPhone will cost $250 to produce.

Okay, first of all, I call bullshit on the numbers — just because some “analysts” pull a number out of their ass in order to make a name for themselves doesn’t mean every single freaking blog has to take it at face value.

Second, and most importantly, the iPhone bears on its shoulders the responsibility of turning a profit for at least three years of research and development — because, unlike its competitors, Apple decided to keep working on it in their labs rather than release iterative upgrades to basic products and charging customers for them.

The Google Switch: an iPhone killer?

The interface certainly looks ugly enough to be Google’s, but at the same time the interface doesn’t look Googley at all, does it?

And what would be in it for them anyway?

Apple’s 802.11n patch to be $2 rather than $5.
