" Walk into any cellphone retailer (like AT&T) and you will see the best phones up front in prominent "4G" displays." AT&T's iPhone 4S is as much a 4G phone as any other phone they sell, even if Apple has not yet allowed them to market it as such.

>>Please, don't confuse Cogito with facts. If Apple hasn't released a 4G phone, it must <fill in the blank>'s fault. Walk into any cellphone retailer (like AT&T) and you will see the best phones up front in prominent "4G" displays. << I have no clue as to what you're even talking about in that first paragraph. Who is trying to blame anyone for Apple's decision with respect to 4G? They decided the trade off of lousy battery life wasn't worth it. I don't have a problem with it. And I guess those enormous, very prominent signs in every carrier store's front window are meaningless. No, they're not promoting the iPhone at all. And I'm sure sales of iPhones are plummeting even as I type. Dream on, Zax. I'm not sure you even know what a fact is. By the way, were you aware that people who aren't technophiles buy smartphones, too? Lots of them.
