German already unlocking iPhones

THE APPLE STORE ALWAYS OFFERS FREE SHIPPING for all orders over 25 dollars. Yes, it's nice that they offer it today for everything, but let's be honest - very few people purchase items under $25 in the store.
And it's just amazing how apple has kept it a secret. The whole Intel switchover was apparently a large deception to make people think the G5 powerbook was never coming out. Man, that Steve Jobs guy is sneaky.
