Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently gave free advice to a columnist asking how to get an iPhone when they go on sale: head to an AT&T store, Jobs suggested, rather than Apple's own retail outlets.

A CNET News.com survey of 75 Apple and AT&T stores indicates that may be a wise approach.

I wonder how long it will take microsoft to copy this Idea and jump on the band wagon. They always copy someone elses idea and try to take over that part of the market. They suck because they never have any good ideas of their own.

Yes, Apple had an original idea making a smartphone that plays music and others, MS included are just copying Apple....

They don't copy everything. Take for example Windows Home Server. No other company has anything like it.
