Yes, it appears I couldn’t go a full two news posts without posting even more iPhone related tidbits. Earlier this morning we posted that CNN took a look at the iPhoneSIMFree service, but now even more details have surfaced.
As Engadget has found out, the business is up and running, but not to end-users. Rather, only wholesalers are able to purchase bulk bundles and re-sell them to their customers. This of course means that many will be making huge profit by buying bulk counts and re-selling them on eBay and the like. Prices begin at 50 licenses for $1,800 ($36 each), with overall prices decreasing the more you buy.
Apple news doesn’t stop there, though. Last Wednesday we posted about a special press event that would be occurring this coming Wednesday. Industry site DigiTimes has revealed information on what will be unveiled there. First is a new iPod Video that will feature a widescreen and also WiFi capabilities. The iPod Nano will also be updated with better storage and an iPhone-like interface. Lastly, the lowly iPod Shuffle will also have it’s storage upgraded, but that’s as far as it’s upgrades go.
