Apple Stores Are Now Unlocking New AT&T; iPhones (AAPL)

In addition to selling the new unlocked versions of the iPhone 4, Apple can also unlock the AT&T version when it's sold in stores.

According to a tipster at 9 To 5 Mac, Apple Store employees have been instructed they an unlock AT&T iPhones by ringing them up as "Device Only" in the system.

Even though the phones carry the SKU for AT&T devices, you'll still have to pay full price if you decide to buy it unlocked. ($650 for 16 GB and $750 for 32 GB.)

Unlocked iPhones will allow you to insert a SIM card from any GSM carrier (such as T-Mobile and others around the world) and operate it on those networks instead of AT&T.

Comment on How App Stores Can Compete With Android Market by tom

i order for a alternative app store to have an impact on overall app quality for users would be it was the only app store users went too. i do not see that happening. sheer size and selection will therefore win in the end.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Get Jar already do this for Android, with substantially greater download numbers?

Going to be interesting to watch and see how Amazon does - They do have a lot of advantages over Google when it comes to commerce. If I was a developer, I just might trust Amazon to make it easy more than Google.

Free Windows Phones From Microsoft Stores Today (MSFT)

Microsoft's retail outlets aren't nearly as widespread as they ought to be, but if you're an AT&T subscriber and you live in one of the seven cities with a Microsoft store, you can walk in today and get a free phone running Windows Phone 7.

The stores are offering the LG Quantum or HTC Surround--which boasts an unusual pull-out speaker for listening to music--for $0 when customers renew their AT&T contract for two years. That's better than the buy one, get one free deal that AT&T is offering today. Amazon previously offered these phones for a penny.

The Microsoft stores will also sell T-Mobile subscribers an HTC HD7 for only $100, although that deal's also available at Best Buy.

Microsoft was also offering $250 off the HP Pavilion dm3 laptop in the online Microsoft Store today--it normally costs $649--but it's already out of stock. There might still be some available in the physical stores, though.

Other deals that last through the weekend include a free Zune HD 16GB player with the purchase of a new PC and discounts on Office and Xbox games.
