There's never a dull moment at Apple
After three years of AT&T
Shares of rival smartphone makers Research In Motion
However, there are still a few questions that few investors seem to be asking, particularly when it comes to AT&T.
- If AT&T no longer has iPhone exclusivity in this country, will it be paying a smaller subsidy? If so, are $199 iPhones about to get more expensive?
- Are other smartphone makers truly toast? After all, if Verizon begins aggressively marketing the iPhone, won't AT&T turn more of its marketing attention to its non-iPhone devices?
This smartphone chess game is heating up.
Briefly in the news
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
- Despite the maelstrom of negative publicity over sticky accelerators and faulty brakes, Toyota Motors
(NYSE: TM) apparently had a great March in terms of new car sales. - Shares of Cephalon
(Nasdaq: CEPH) took a hit when the Food and Drug Administration failed to expand its sleep disorder treatment to cover jet lag.
Until next week, I remain,
