Sent to you by Brent via Google Reader: AT&T Drops the Price of iPhone
3GS to $49 via iSource by Alex Jordan on 1/6/11

AT&T has announced that starting tomorrow the 8GB iPhone 3GS will now
cost $49. That of course, is a $50 discount from the iPhone 3GS's
previous price.

AT&T today announced a new price for the popular iPhone 3GS – $49.00 –
available beginning tomorrow, Friday, January 7, for both new and
upgrade-eligible existing AT&T customers. The offer will be available
online at www.att.com/iphone, across more than 2,200 AT&T retail
locations nationwide and through AT&T business channels, as well as
Apple channels.

So, a new standard pricing for the low-end iPhone? To me, this suggests
that AT&T either knows, is strongly suspects that the iPhone is coming
to Verizon soon. Having a low-end iPhone is the only thing that would
separate them from Verizon, and lowering the price of entry to own an
iPhone is the best weapon they have left, because, it's certainly not
their network.
