AT&T and Apple recently sent out a survey to ask iPhone users about their experiences while using the phone. This is in preperation for what both companies may be able to do in the future, to entice more switchers. Several key questions of the survey are about EDGE performance. EDGE is a lower end data transfer system that is being used rather than the 3G, that most thought would come with the iPhone. Also asked was how well users rated performance while using “iChat,” which as we know, is not an application installed by default on the iPhone.
This leaves us with some interesting thoughts. Will Apple actually plan on releasing iChat for the iPhone in the near future? Do some Apple employee’s currently use some form of an iChat beta or even AT&T employee’s for that matter? Or is this a mistake by AT&T to fuel further blogging about the iPhone and AT&T in general? In any case, all questions will be answered in the not to distant future. As we have discussed before, firmware updates to the iPhone are already being worked on and tested. Via Engadget.
