Walmart to carry iPhone, but not 4GB, not for $99

by Robert Palmer (RSS feed) on Dec 8th, 2008

Whither the cheap, low-capacity Walmart iPhone? MacRumors' Arnold Kim now anticipates that Walmart will be offering 8GB iPhones for $197, with no mention of smaller capacities or lower prices. The price is two bucks cheaper than at an AT&T retail store.

MacBlogz's Aviv Hadar mentioned late last week that their sources at AT&T said a 4GB model was "simply not true."

The original story, from BoyGeniusReport, was treated with a heavy dose of skepticism even from them, as the source wasn't one of their usual fonts of reliable information.

In related news, the San Jose Mercury News notes that Bay Area Walmart stores may begin carrying iPhone handsets before Christmas, citing employees and managers at those stores.

Otherwise, expect the devices to go on sale December 28.

Found Footage: iPhone Dev Camp Hackathon

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Jul 10th, 2007

The San Jose Mercury News provides this video of the recent three day iPhone developer camp and hackathon. The Mercury News talked with event organizers and got a peek at some new iPhone-specific applications during this "Inside Silicon Valley" video. It's a pretty long video (almost half an hour!) so if you have buffering problems the way I did, you may want to download the MP4 file directly from the Mercury News site.

San Jose Mercury News blasts Jobs

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Jan 5th, 2007

Despite the green light given to Steve Jobs and his executive team by an internal Apple investigation, the San Jose Mercury News seems intent on proving otherwise. Apple is giving Jobs a "Free Pass", claims one recent article which cites a Boston University management professor and a managing director of research at Glass Lewis. Another article points out that Steve Jobs helped pick several of the directors on Apple's board. We learn from yet another recent piece that the civil lawsuit has "turned up [the] heat" on Apple and yet another article offers a timeline of the scandal while another points the finger at Jobs for his role in backdating.

They say all news is local, perhaps this is just an expression of the Mercury News' local interest.
