Less than a week before he makes an appearance on stage that people really care about, Steve Jobs said Tuesday that “there might be” another wireless carrier in the iPhone’s future, that he won’t let Gizmodo “extort” Apple over a stolen iPhone and that despite Google’s intrusion into Apple’s core businesses, his sex life is [...]

I’m pretty sure Verizon Wireless and every other wireless carrier not named AT&T wants to get their hands on the Apple iPhone. But if the iPhone remains exclusive to AT&T, those carriers should stock up on the new Android phones made by HTC. I’ve been playing with the HTC Incredible (also know as the HTC [...]
