The text has been changed to
"Available at Apple Retail, over 1,800 AT&T locations, or the online Apple Store."

Laser engraving, please.

Thanks for the update Erica. I was curious about online sales and even commented about it it earlier so I really appreciate the quick follow-up. Ignore the sarcasm. Some people treat anonymity like a license to behave
completely differently than they do in real life.
As to your question about how it might affect my plans I guess it would depend on the details and my mood come the 29. I've already mentioned I'd be happy to wait a day or two and ignore the hysteria but I might be feeling adventurous. What I don't want is to guess wrong and wind up on the waiting list, so I guess a safe plan might be to bring my macBook to
the Apple Store as a backup and just play it by ear. What I really
need is more info, so keep doing what you''re doing. Thanks.

Some people are just such know-it-alls and they have to make sure everybody knows it. nothing is less relevant than a post to a blog stating it is not relevant. Do us all a favour, go puff your ego somewhere else, your comments serve no purpose. I for one did not know iPhone would be sold online. assumed it would be a retail outlet only affair. Also did not assume the iPhone would work without phone contract, at least initially. Yes maybe it is all so obvious to you braiin giants out there. But i'm glad this has been pointed out as an option. To all you smack talkers who think you are soo smart. Its real easy. Blogger.com, go start your own blog and report your shinng pearls of wisdom. Otherwise, (explicit language removed/saying essentially "please go away")

Does the Iphone's camera take video?

I think the continued bashing of Erica Sadun does not reflect well on the readers of this site. The fact that people continue to visit the site says that they find it useful or informative; while hard-core Apple addicts may already know some of the information posted here, that is not a reason to denigrate the writer for imparting it to those who may not spend all day surfing for every scrap of information themselves.
If you're the kind of person who is up to date on every rumor or speculation out there, why beat up on people who aren't? This website serves the entire spectrum of Apple fans.
In this particular case, there has been NO official word from either Apple or AT&T on whether iPhone will be available online, no matter how much people assume it. Erica is pointing out that there is finally official confirmation of this rumor.

Who did you hear that from? Your pet chinchilla? (oops - rude!) Nobody knows. Yes, data and phone bills for heavy smartphone users routinely run into the hundreds per month. But there have been no official plans released for the iPhone yet.

Oh, and to answer the original question, does the fact that the iPhone will be sold online change my plans? No. Obviously it will be sold online. Anyone could've guessed that. However, I did read recently that ship times from online sales will only be 2-3 days. If that's true, then that may change my plans. (Sorry, no source.)
