T Mobile and the iPhone

What do you think about T-Mobile getting the iPhone?

A. Finally! Love it!

B. Yawn. Already have one.

C. Fine. When is it coming to Metro PCS?

D. Doesn’t everybody have it?

T-Mobile has been in trouble for a number of years. Users were becoming concentrated in only two of the major wireless carriers (AT&T and Verizon). Like Sprint, T-Mobile has been losing subscribers. Sprint bet big on the iPhone, and whether or not T-Mobile sells a lot of them, having it sends a signal that they are a contender and a viable wireless carrier.

The question is will existing customers and potential customers be impressed.

In case you were wondering why Moore’s Law is important, just think for a moment about the processors in use now. Over time, more transistors were fit onto a single chip in order to achieve the performance we have today.

Named for Gordon Moore, a cofounder of Intel, it was observed that every 18 months processor speed doubled. Coinciding with this, associated costs have gone down so that consumers can possess substantial computing power for prices that seem ridiculous compared to what was available only a few years ago.

Continuing to achieve these feats is a challenging endeavor.
