The Begin at Home program allows buyers to enter billing information through Apple's website, check eligibility and costs, and then pick a carrier plan. Once billing and eligibility are cleared, people can then travel to an Apple Store and pick up their iPhone.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/23/iphone.3g.buy.at.home/ Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/22/in.home.iphone.activation/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/iphone3g-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />In the near future, potential iPhone buyers may once again be able to handle some of the activation process at home, according to an anonymous Apple Store worker. The new process would not be a resumption of the one for the first-generation phone, which let users sign up for a new carrier subscription from within iTunes; due to people bypassing this en-masse for the sake of unlocking, Apple has s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/22/in.home.iphone.activation/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/11/iphone.launch/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0807/iphone-distribution-10.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's iPhone 3G launch has become a stressful day of failed activations, mirroring activation issues during the original iPhone launch last year, accounts indicate. The 2007 launch saw AT&T servers go down in a flood of activations; this year AT&T says that there has been a global problem with Apple's iTunes servers that prevents phones from being fully activated in-store, as had been planned.

Silicon Alley Insider writes that as the company confirmed the loss of Apple's business in a filing to the SEC, its stock tipped, falling almost 19-percent... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/synchronoss.loses.business/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 04:40:00 GMT
