while this news can certainly be enjoyed in the short term. we need only remember what happens when Steve-0 sneezes and what a Jobless Apple has looked like in the past. If anything were to happen to Steve, life will go on, MS and Linux will go on, and no one will be able to sell their proprietary Apple stock fast enough.
the key being when the contract expires when AT&T will weigh the cost versus the perceived pain for users for changing carriers. more than likely they will then soften up their stance enough to cut their losses to what for them is an acceptable level. I suspect that Wave might change the playing field a bit, it looks slick enough to make even the iphonebois green however that will take some time. Note, I am an example that as badly as they, AT&T are "messing" with their customers these days, and it gets worse everyday, they aren't getting smaller. I have GV and as soon as my contract is up I am burning all ties to ATT, buying an Android and dropping off the grid...
