You know for jail broken stuff ... A July 21st story says they're next. Like this fall. Maybe it's like chess. Swapping pieces or when in doubt moving a pawn. No gambit though. Not always the best strategy but it does keep things moving. So, if AT&T takes the BB stuff, initial sales may/will reveal that numbers may be similar to projected Apple iPhone numbers should it end up on T-Mobile. So its like a win/win w/o having any destructive consequences to AT&T profits or T-Mobile's relationships or iPhone/Apple $ losses or Rim/BB's situation w Verizon/Droid. And maybe T-Mobile offers coverage where AT&T is weak. It's only a theory. Plus T-Mobile is GSM and I think Apple does business with T-Mobile in Europe.

Apple can't keep up with demand now. They could sell 8 million iPhones on Verizon without blinking an eye. I do agree that things are going to slow in the US over the next couple of years. If Apple could have handled the demand, this year would have been prime to go to multiple carriers. I think AT&T is just trying get into a defensive position. If they can broaden their base, it may help reduce defectors. I guess the contract could have been modified, but I don’t think we will see anything change before 2012.
