This Week's Rumor Roundup: iPhone, Google, GameStop, more

Published June 19, 2009

Meaty, beefy, juicy rumors for you:

iPhone tethering to cost an extra $55?
Outraged? Then you should know that other pricing rumors for iPhone tethering pegged it at $70. See, this rumor just saved you $15!
Google Voice to launch ... er ... yesterday?
Impatient, much? Google says the service is coming "in a matter of weeks", but I guess that's not fast enough for the Internet rumor mill.
Apple buying a stake in TomTom?
Why buy the cow when you can get the app for free?
Gaming industry asks GameStop to not sell as many used games; and they comply?
Dear GameStop,
Dudes! SO not cool! We've grown accustomed to our level of profits that we get from over-charging for new games and make no money off of the ones that you resell. Please refrain from milking your cash cow and exploiting our greed for your own gains.
Yours, The Gaming Industry
