So you've got the prices for all the device on-contract, yes? Now we've got the real numbers for you if you plan on running away from the store with a device that's on no contract at all as well. Can you guess what they might be? Let's start with the iPhone 3GS - this device now only comes in one iteration, 8GB, and on-contract you can get it for free if you also commit to a 2-year contract. Sounds like a deal! If you'd like to get this phone OFF contract, you'll be paying a total of $375. An interesting thing to note here is the fact that the "free" model is in stock today while the off-contract model will be delivered and in stores on the 14th of October. Strange!

This means, of course, that we’ve got to hit up each of the greatest dual-core processor creators for the platform, and with them the latest and best devices running on them. What follows is an exploration of what the best from both of these major players in mobile computing can offer. Let the fight begin!
Apple mails physical greetings for you with new Cards app
Among the many things we anticipate Apple covering at the Let’s Talk iPhone event today, one we did not expect is a new app that involves Apple physically mailing something to you or a designated recipient. The company’s John Forstall is up on stage touting the 500,000 apps currently in the App Store and that the company makes a lot of apps themselves, with the latest and somewhat most bizarre app called "Cards."

Apple recaps iOS 5 improvements
The Apple “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is still developing and of course they can’t dive right into the next-gen iPhone just yet.

iOS 5 not iPhone 5 is Apple’s big deal today
Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is just hours away, and there’s still plenty of argument over what will steal the show. New iPhone hardware will obviously have a significant impact on Apple’s bottom line for the next twelve months. Whether the company launches one new handset or two, though, and whether the new flagship is an evolutionary iPhone 4S or a revolutionary iPhone 5, sales are likely to remain strong – after all, even more than a year on, the iPhone 4 is still in high demand. While that’s all a big deal to Apple (and carriers), it’s software which will make the broadest difference.

iOS App Rentals coming this week
It appears quite likely that inside the BETA release for iTunes 10.5 comes a code that points directly at the future ability for users to rent applications instead of purchasing them. What this could mean is several things – it could simply be the ability for developers to allow rentals of their applications, this opening up a new window for revenue where now only freemium, payed, and free with apps options exist. Could this be the start of another revolution in app developing, or is it a complete phantom, only a re-named way to try apps out before purchase?
