AT&T clarifies the black iPhone rumor





If you’re about to run to your local Apple or AT&T store to snag up a new black iPhone, let me save you a trip. I just received and email from AT&T representative with the following quote:

“The reference to “iPhone Black” was simply a temporary placeholder used over the weekend for a scheduled catalog update. It was meant to temporarily distinguish the various iPhone models-4GB, 8GB and 16GB-but was never reassigned. It should be corrected on the site by now.”  Brad Mays, PR for AT&T.

This is actually kind of silly from my perspective. I apologize if our previous articles here and here got your hopes up. At lease now you know for sure.

    Sure, because “8″ was too hard to type as a placeholder. “Black” is much easier. I hope someone got a nice lecture about being a dumbass.

    The time-off time period between the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons of the NBA has exposed a big amount of reorganizations among teams, besides all the crucial people have remained with their present teams.
