Apple recently announced it would give away free Bumper cases. Here are the details straight from Apple:

Download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from the App Store.

Launch the app on your iPhone 4 and sign in using your iTunes Store account or Apple ID.

Select your Bumper or case.

For iPhone 4 purchases made before July 23, 2010, you must apply no later than August 22, 2010; otherwise, you must apply within 30 days of your iPhone 4 purchase. To qualify for this program, you must purchase your iPhone 4 by September 30, 2010.

Now, Apple also has to comply with the recent ruling which makes jailbreaking iPhones legal.

The upshot is that now anyone can jailbreak or otherwise unlock any cell phone without fear of legal penalties, whether you want to install unsupported applications or switch to another cellular carrier. Cell phone companies are of course still free to make it difficult for you to do this — and your warranty will probably still be voided if you do — but at least you won’t be fined or imprisoned if you jailbreak a handset.

AT&T has just begun capping smartphone new user plans saying it needs to ease congestion on its network.

One reason they have so much congestion is because their networks are old and outdated.

What they need to do is update their phone lines that run throughout America, upgrade their systems to handle more information and upgrade their technology. Countries outside America are pushing technology to its limits. And in doing so, countries outside America are beginning to excel in technology like never before while technology in America is beginning to wane.

iPhone and smartphone plans in America are some of the highest in the world. Japan has much better service and offers with their cellular phones at much cheaper rates. Is America no longer the leader in technology?

AT&T may be shooting itself in the foot!
