• Munster plots 2010 for the iPhone, here are some additional predictions | 9 to 5 Mac: Some decent iPhone futurism, including this bit:

  If there is a surprise in 2010, I think it will be that Apple builds a 3G data-only iPhone with its own VoIP app that can ride on any network. Google is rumored to be doing this with their "real" Android phone as well. Apple would then let the networks fight over what network consumers put it on. iPhone owners could go month to month on the best network. If another network comes along with a better plan, they skate. You move to an area with no AT&T? Hello Verizon!

  Some people might even forgo the 3G access costs and go pure Wifi for access only at home and at work. Or maybe they have a WiMAX Mifi and just use that. This type of device would change everything and instantly turn the mobile networks into dumb pipes.

  I have increasingly been wondering if Apple is going to follow this approach, rather than just having the iPhone on multiple carriers.

• TidBITS Problem Solving: New iMac Screens Cracking and Flickering: It's unfortunate to read that Apple is still having issues with the new iMacs. On the upside, I'm sure that all customers who have a malfuctioning iMac will eventually have the issues resolved by Apple.
