Apple’s “iPhone” Won’t Work in Half the U.S.

Apple has chosen AT&T's Cingular Wireless for their service carrier but they are not in every state in the U.S., and not in all areas in the states they do cover.
Apple has gotten America very excited about their new "iPhone". The problem is that they have chosen AT&T's Cingular Wireless as the service provider and they are not available in many states, and not in all areas in the states that they do cover. That leaves almost half the nation without the ability to use the new Apple gadget.
The "iPhone" is Apples newest music player, with a twist. It is a mobile phone as well, and as an added twist, it has no buttons. It is a touch-screen number pad with more bells and whistles than you can imagine. It even allows the user to surf the web from the device, but again, only where there is Cingular coverage.

Vermonters won’t be able to take advantage of Apple’s iPhone because it will be offered by a wireless carrier that doesn’t maintain a network in the state.
The iPhone, which combines an iPod music player, cellphone, and full-featured Internet browser, is goes on sale in June, but only in areas served by AT&T’s Cingular Wireless, with which Apple has an exclusive distribution deal.
The iPhone service won’t be available in all or large portions of Maine, New Hampshire, Alaska, Colorado, the Dakotas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, upstate New York, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming, among other places.
