Apple iPhone activation
"Users will be able to activate their new Apple iPhone in the comfort and privacy of their own home or office, without having to wait in a store while their phone is activated," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "There are tens of millions of people in the USA who already know how to sync their Apple iPods with Apple iTunes, and syncing their new Apple iPhone with iTunes works the same way."

Apple iPhone sync
"Apple iPhone's user-driven activation is another example of how AT&T and Apple have partnered to bring innovative new features to our customers," said Randall Stephenson, chairman and CEO, AT&T. "Apple iPhone's innovative activation and sync is just one example of how this is going to be a real industry game-changer."
