Apple wants out of that contract in the worst way. Why? Because AT&T can't support all the nifty features of the new iPhone 3G S. Apple entered into the exclusive deal with open eyes and should now have live up to their end of the bargain. If Apple loses customers because they picked the wrong partner, that's life.

It's also much shorter: We like selling "subsidized" phones because it makes us a lot of money and keeps our bothersome customers from jumping ship. Of course, since all the cellular companies have the same outrageous prices, crappy service, and limited choices, we're not particularly worried.
