iPhone Slowing AT&T Network?
I see a trend.
Back in July, I wrote a post based on a Bernstein Research report which considered the question of whether the Apple iPhone has been a blessing or a curse for AT&T, citing among other factors the strain the data-happy iPhone users are placing on the company’s 3G network.

Apple: iPhone Spotted on China Unicom Web Site; Unicom Execs Spotted Paying Visit to Cupertino (Updated)
Very interesting tidbit today from Macworld U.K., which found a China Unicom Web page with information on the Apple iPhone. Macworld notes that the information, which is in Chinese, is apparently part of a list of smartphones that could theoretically be supported by the 3G network China Unicom is building. The Macworld story notes that the page appears only on the Web site for the company’s Shanghai branch, and did not say specifically that the iPhone would be offered by China Unicom.

iPhoneDevCamp 2
This weekend in San Francisco, the second annual iPhoneDevCamp 2 is underway. Whereas the first confab focused primarily on Web applications, this one has a definite native application flavor, thanks in large part to the fact that the iPhone software development kit (SDK) is out of beta and now available for developers.
When the iPhone was released in June, many developers were disappointed by the absence of an SDK for writing third-party applications on day one.

AT&T is admitting that if it discovers users of its wireless broadband 3G service are making use of P2P apps, it will cut them off completely, and claims that it makes this clear in the terms of service. It hasn’t happened yet, but this bit of data will supposedly be used by a dissenting FCC [...]

How the iPhone 3G Is Changing the Wireless Game
When Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the wraps off of the iPhone 18 months ago, the wireless establishment offered a smug response. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a Nokia executive sniffed that Apple’s new gadget merely validated his company’s strategy, and voiced his surprise to journalists that the iPhone didn’t use the latest 3G networks for fast data connections. “Overall, it’s very exciting for us,” he said, implying the mighty Nokia had nothing to worry about.

AT&T: New Low Price Will Move iPhones to Mass Market
AT&T restructured its deal with Apple, said Ralph de la Vega, the chief executive of AT&T Mobility, in order to overcome resistance from mass consumers to the high $399 price of the iPhone.

Apple: Blogging The WWDC; Here Comes 3G iPhone; To Demo “Snow Leopard,” OSX Update; Super Monkey Ball
The time is near.
I’m sitting in an exhibition hall at Moscone West in San Francisco, waiting for Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs to give the keynote at the company’s 2008 Worldwide Developers Conference. As usual, the place is overrun with media, analysts and the Apple faithful. The 3G iPhone’s debut should be minutes away.

About Voices
This is a section of the All Things Digital Web site featuring posts from around the Web, from other Dow Jones properties and also original pieces we solicit. The section is now explicitly labeled that it comes "from other Web sites."
We are fully aware of the controversies around how linking and aggregating is done on the Web and we, in no way, are attempting to "scrape" original content created by others. Instead, regarding third-party posts, we are trying to point readers of this site to other posts from around the Web that we admire and are trying to do so in the quickest manner possible.
The Internet is full of terrific content that is not ours and we want to help our readers find it by making editorial suggestions--Look, Mom, no algorithm!--of posts we think are worth their time.
That is why we have made even more changes to Voices to ensure we do this in the most transparent and timely way. While we don't expect that everyone will agree with our policies, we have made changes that reflect our intent in pointing to content outside our site.
So here is exactly what we do:
About the Site
Because the site is wholly owned by Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, we aim to adhere to the journalistic standards of the best of the mainstream media. But, because it is run autonomously as a small online startup, we aim to exhibit the fresh thinking and nimbleness of the best of the new media. We want to be first, and sassy, but also well sourced and accurate. We will offer lots of opinion and analysis, but plenty of fact as well.
