Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Everyone keeps saying the iPhone is unsubsidized. How do you know? Does anyone know for sure that Apple doesn't get money for every activated iPhone?
Also if your monthly bill went up $20 a month just to have the overhyped iPhone you deserve what you got.
Of course Apple gets paid!! They get a chunk of change for every month someone is on an iPhone plan, that is why the iPhones have seperate plans. I don't know the exact details of the agreement but I know its a whole lot better than any other phone manufacturer has. Especially if Apple is able to keep phones active without replacement for the full two year contract.
