Unlock the iPhone

The iPhone looks great but why is Apple poisoning their brand by an association with Cingular? The Cingular CEO read his Cingular/AT&T ad from notecards during the keynote and was not enthused about being there and didn’t appear to “get it.” There is one more big innovation Apple could push with the iPhone.

Get the message out that American consumers don’t have to buy phones from the major carriers. I recently bought an unlocked phone. While finding and buying the phone was a pain in the butt, moving my SIM card was easy. I would love to see Apple open up distribution channels for cell phones in America.

At the very least I hope they offer an unlocked version.
