It seems we have to get up soon to buy the new Apple iPhone. For your information, the new Apple iPhone is “coming soon”.

The first and mostly: The new Apple iPhone 3G will go on market at 8 a.m. next Friday at AT&T retail stores and Apple phone stores. So, do planning on lining up? To be the first one to get it? You’d better be ready well before the sunrise going up. Beside that, AT&T also has finally clarified Apple iPhone pricing for current AT&T subscribers who want the Apple iPhone 3G.

In a nutshell, if you’re -upgrade eligible- (by log into your AT&T account to see if you are), you will be able to buy the new Apple iPhone for the cheap discounted price of $199:8GB version or $299:16GB model. AT&T is somewhat vague about the eligibility criteria, although your credit history plus the time remaining on your contract are the main factors. As additional, you will also have to pay a small fee of $18 as “upgrade fee.”

I’m planning to do the same analysis today, but Gizmodo came along and saved us some work. Exactly: We’ve acknowledged that the Apple iPhone 3G is going to be more costly than the original Apple iPhone over the course of its life, but how if we compare it with other smart-phones on the market?

Jason Chen ran the numbers against the three models that is: HTC Tilt, the HTC Mogul, and the XV6800, all most wanted smart-phones geared toward consumers. The results are all pretty close. Just $220 over two years separates the most expensive smart-phone (XV6800) from the least expensive HTC Mogul, not including the now-discontinued original Apple iPhone.

The most important thing that’s kept the computer industry alive for years and years is that the computer & laptop purchase never stops with the computer itself. First comes software then follows by hardware. Tech gizmos, gadgets and etc. The computer is endlessly expandable.
