Coming via Moconews is news from USA Today that the deal that will see the Apple iPhone released exclusively on AT&T in the US is for a longer period than most pundits originally thought – 5 years. Another part of the deal is that Apple are barred from developing a CDMA version of the handset for release in the US during this period, with the note that most other US carriers use CDMA networks (T-Mobile use GSM).
AT&T spokesperson Mark Siegel is reported as describing the deal as a perfect marriage by AFP, which also includes an opposing opinion. "Apple has a history of leaving its partners bleeding or bloody in the dust," analyst Rob Enderle told AFP…"You have the most power brand with the most powerful carrier. If it works out, you have a powerful partnership. But, this has all the earmarks of a really expensive divorce that will be historically memorable."

Turning your cell phone into an entertainment machine just got easier. If Justin Timberlake can claim that he’s brought sexy back, then he’d be speechless at the advent of Sex on Cell TV. Bringing new meaning to the words “textual intercourse”; internet’s sexiest nudes are at your fingertips. Choose from a wide variety of preferences, even including gay and lesbian. High quality mobile movies are discretely sent to your cell or another device capable of video streaming upon your request. All I did was to point your mobile to http://sexoncell.com for adults only mobile fun.
