The world continues to wait for Apple to officially announce something about the launch of the fifth version of its best selling iPhone. The current bets have the iPhone 5 being officially revealed in September. Meanwhile both AT&T and Verizon are busy selling the iPhone 4 starting at $199 for a two year contract. AT&T has also been selling the iPhone 3GS, first launched in June 2009, for just $49.
But if you want to get your hands on the cheapest iPhone, at least in official circles, you can do so now with a newly revealed offer from AT&T. Their web site store has announced that it is selling a refurbished versions of the 8 GB iPhone 3GS for a mere $9 with a two year contract. Yes, the phone is two years old and its not a totally new model but if you are so desperate to get an iPhone with official support from AT&T this is the cheapest way to do so.
According to the web site, AT&T’s definition of “refurbished” phones are “previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period.” It adds, “Some refurbished iPhone 3G devices will have minor scratches.” While the phones will have a warranty AT&T does say that it is based on the original date the phone was purchased. So if you decide to get this version of the iPhone 3GS your warranty length could be 90 days or it could be shorter than that.

It was just supposed to be a three-hour tour, um, quick sale process!
But, like a storm-tossed ship looking for any safe harbor, the Myspace sale is still chugging along, with a deal that continues to be tossed around amongst low-paying and new lesser known buyers who are now in the $20 million to $30 million range, said sources close to the situation.
The price, said others, could go as high as $35 million, but it’s far cry from the $100 million that News Corp. had been aiming for.
As part of the deal, sources said the News Corp. unit will be making significant cuts in staff and costs — up to 50 percent or more — all contingent on the purchaser. The staff cuts are, obviously, directly related to the transaction and the winning bidder.
The media giant might also retain a small minority stake.
The two names — Specific Media and Golden Gate Capital — that are now in the forefront for an acquisition deal that News Corp. hopes to complete by Thursday, its fiscal year end, have not been among the acquirers mentioned previously in the myriad of reports about the deal.
Specific Media — a large, if lesser known, advertising network — seems to be in the lead, said sources. It has been around for a half-decade and has been funded by Francisco Partners.
Golden Gate Capital is a private equity firm with $9 billion under management, which has mostly specialized in turning around companies. It has never invested in a consumer Internet company.
Both companies, sources said, will focus Myspace on music, although it is not clear which rights the site has with music labels will transfer to a new owner.
Until last week, the preferred deal for Myspace centered on an investor group that included Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and in which News Corp. (which also owns this Web site) would retain a large minority ownership stake.
But sources said there were some transactional and legal complexities that made it less attractive and News Corp. opened up the deal talks with others again last week.
Golden Capital and Specific Media emerged most aggressively, although there still remain other interested parties, sources close to the situation said, among them another investor group that includes Myspace co-founder Tom Anderson, one its other co-founder Chris DeWolfe is part of and also interest from the Criterion Capital Partners, which bought AOL’s Bebo social networking site on the cheap a year ago.
But it’s now come down to time constraints and an agreement that can be reached before the end of this month, which is also the end of the media giant’s fiscal year.
In other words, let’s get Myspace off the books for 2012!

A handful of venture capital firms and other companies are expected to make News Corp offers for one of its most disappointing properties: MySpace.
News Corp declared it was ready to sell MySpace in an earnings call last February. At that time, in spite of significant layoffs and a massive redesign, the company “recorded a $275 million pre-tax charge for the impairment of goodwill related to the Digital Media Group and an organizational restructuring at MySpace.”
Now, The Wall Street Journal, which shares a parent company with the faltering social network, is reporting that News Corp is attempting to get at least $100 million out of the sale. It names Redscout Ventures, Thomas H. Lee Partners, and Criterion Capital Partners LLC , which also owns Bebo, as potential buyers.
News Corp purchased MySpace in 2005 for $580 million. At that time, the year-and-a-half-old Facebook hadn’t even acquired the Facebook.com URL and recorded a net loss of $3.63 million for the year. Even as late as 2007, Facebook’s traffic was disappointing when compared to traffic on MySpace.
But all that changed quickly. MySpace users began abandoning ship for Facebook, and in late 2009, site traffic took a dive from which it never really recovered. By 2010, even relative upstart Twitter was getting more traffic than MySpace.
Even though the network has pivoted to become an entertainment destination (in a nod to the bands and filmmakers that have clung to the platform out of habit or necessity), MySpace is still losing ground in these creative industries.
