Apple has finally released the iPhone 4; the iPhone 3 is dead. To recycle a phrase from an old Pink Floyd song:

"Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as ‘a can be by his feet; de ya ken?"

Let me repeat that in English: The iPhone 3 is dead, no longer sold, it is an ex-phone, pining for the fjords even. Anyone who can (OK, Apple, AT&T) is diving into the fray selling the iPhone 3GS for $99, 'cause, you know, it's the contract that's the killer.

So why am I on about this anyway? I don't have an iPhone and AT&T doesn't service the dead zone we live in. So why!?? Because everyone, and I mean (nearly) everyone that owns an iPhone 3 is selling them "Cheap! in every classified online ad you can find.

"Psst... buddy... wanna buy an iPhone, cheap? Jus' $250 but only today! They're goin' fast! so hurry!"

Yeah... just walk away. Go get your new i4 for $199 or if you're on a budget, grab an i3GS for $99.
