And naturally, since the service providers presumably need to make some more in addition to the fees that they must peel off to the (unsubsidized) phones, consumers can expect to pay more for their services.<br><br>Yeah, thanks Apple, now we can look forward to the whole mobile device world to ensconced in your secretive, screw the consumer mentality.  Thanks a lot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JayMonster]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 8:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia, like Apple, will seek its slice of the revenue sharing pie]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</guid><description><![CDATA[A lot of people were putting down Vodafone for fighting the T Mobile/Apple deal, but Vodafone knew other handset makers would want to do a similar deal.

I was never a fan of the iPhone deal if only because after Apple sells you the phone, they are hardly adding much value. They aren't producing content and haven't really improved the phone much as of yet. Will they want to split your cable modem bill next, sure.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[akatsuki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 11:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia, like Apple, will seek its slice of the revenue sharing pie]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Regular software updates add value. How many software updates does Motorola release for handsets? How easy are they to apply? <br><br>You don't have to be a fan "of the deal" as long as you're happy with what you pay for the phone - outright and monthly. If you feel you're getting a deal, then great. If not, then buy something else.<br><br>My $.02<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 1:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia, like Apple, will seek its slice of the revenue sharing pie]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/11/nokia-like-apple-will-seek-its-slice-of-the-revenue-sharing-pi/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's the problem with Apple: the start doing evil things, but then they don't follow through. The logical next step after devising the evil business model known as "revenue sharing" would have been to patent it, so that other handset manufacturers (like now Nokia) who decided to imitate Apple in their evilness would have to pay them royalties. Instead, they get nothing.<br>It serves them right, for being evil in such half-assed way!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rav97]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 7:36PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
