Competition is great

   Competition is so needed in the world of technology. It makes the leaders fight hard and the last place men fight even more to get to the top. No one wants to be last. This is the same for humans too. Well with all the shake up the iPhone has caused and all the shake up ATT, Verizon , Sprint and tmobile has caused with different rates and plans its funny to really see this all in action.  Let's just start with the iPhone. The greatest introduction of a tech gadget ever. It blew the doors off anything that was in the same category as it when it came out. This in turn made the most people in history leave their current cell provider to go to ATT.  This then force the industry to then try and copy off what Apple did with the touch screen and o/s and it forced the cell providers to come with plans to make people want to stay with them even when there was a iPhone waiting on them.  Plans like any five, any ten , unlimited plans, simply everything and any mobile to mobile are just a quick list of them. And now look at where we are at now.  We have Verizon getting palm pre, its first android phone , the blackberry storm 2 , etc. We have sprint also getting its first android phone, the new plans as mentioned, having the pre already  and even more to come. Tmobile rumored "dark"plan that is yet another better unlimited plan and rate, and them getting more android phones such as the Motorola cliq.  And as far as ATT goes, we really don't know much of anything about their plans other than trying to hold on to the iPhone and hopefully get the next release of it. But it wouldn't surprise me if they had a change in plans and rates too thanks to everyone else plan changes. All I'm saying is that the real winners are us. It's good to be a gadget freak :)
