Apple's Free iPhone is now a Cash Cow

Apple's core business has shifted to being driven by computer, iPhone sales

In 2001, Apple was a shell of the vibrant company it had been in the 1980s. Battered by years of losses to Microsoft, the company had little options. It had virtually no market share in the personal computer industry, and little brand image. Then the company invented a seemingly insignificant little device that would go on to change everything -- the iPod.

The iPod not only turned around Apple's finances, it redefined the entire company. Apple went from a tired elitist on the brink of financial collapse to a hip trend-setter delivering music to the masses and with plenty of cash to burn.

Send free SMS from your iPhone

July 23, 2008 Looking for a way to offset the ridiculously expensive data plan that your new 3G iPhone att-eyes-googles-android-3g-iphone Apr-2-2008 is tied to? AOL's free AIM client has a feature you might be interested in - the ability to send free SMS messages.

Make sure your iPhone is running the iPhone 2.0 software, and grab AIM here (iTunes itunes-overtakes-wal-mart-in-music-sales Apr-4-2008 required).

To send an SMS, simply send an IM to the number you wish to SMS in the international dialling format. For example, to send an SMS to a number in the U.S. of (444) 555-6666, send an IM to +14445556666. The recipient can reply to the message and you will receive it as an IM.

iPod Touch can also use this neat trick, provided they're somewhere with WiFi access.

Before you get too excited, the SMS feature doesn't work in all countries. We know it works in the U.S, but our readers from abroad will have to test it out for themselves. Feel free to send your reports to tim at gizmag dot com.
