It looks like green lights all the way for the launch of the iPhone App Store this week. Most developers have been told they must submit their applications by 12 PM PDT today (Monday) to be considered for inclusion in the launch:
It’s time for me to pay off AT&T some money I owe them for breaking my previous contract with them. I hope I can use this old bill as leverage for getting an iPhone. If they can sign me up for an iPhone and new contract, then…
