So do you think the $199 iPhone 3G is cheaper than the current model $399? Well, let’s count. You probably missed out this, the AT&T is raising its minimum monthly service subscription for the new iPhone 3G from $60 to $70. Though it’s just 10 bucks but remember it is a two-year contract 10 x 24, that’s $240. It’s not cheap after all right. Secondly, the new iPhone won’t be able to be unlocked that easily because Apple will not be selling it online anymore. So if you really crazy of getting one, then head to the Apple Store and pick up the 2-year AT&T service contract.

According to Tradethenews.com, employees at Apple have filed a patent to place solar cells on portable devices. With that technology, Apple’s devices like iPhone could have photovoltaic cells stacked underneath LCD touch screens, thus maximizing the area available for harnessing the sun.

The filing said that information regarding the performance of a device’s solar cells could be displayed on the main screen next to info for battery power, text message alerts and time of day. Or this information could also appear on top of the solar cells themselves, which are likely to display some version of the Apple logo.
