You can buy one iPhone per day; the devices, however, will still be ...... locked to AT&T, meaning you must either use an AT&T SIM with it or unlock it.The prices are: $499 for the iPhone 3G 8GB, $599 for the iPhone 3GS 16GB and $699 for the iPhone 32GB.

Added new 'Evolutionary Biology' subject material to World University & School 1st with Google Book by Alfred Russel Wallace: worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Evolutionary_Biology

"Alfred R. Wallace's Malay Archipelago Wallace, the co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of evolution by natural selection, produced this ...classic of Victorian travel writing on his return from eight extraordinary years of scientific exploration throughout South East Asia. A mix of travelogue, science, ethnography, and pure adventure, it is wonderfully readable (much more so, frankly, than Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle), and reveals a Wallace forever struggling to reconcile his child-like sense of wonder at what he is seeing with the stiff-upper-lip expectations of his Victorian audience. Perhaps this conflict is best captured by his account of a previous expedition that ended disastrously when his ship home from Brazil caught fire in the middle of the Atlantic, leaving Wallace and ship's crew adrift in an open boat for ten days until rescue arrived. "During the night I saw several meteors, and in fact could not be in a better position for observing them, than lying on my back in a small boat in the middle of the Atlantic." Positive-thinking, Victorian-style! Reading Wallace is a wonderful antidote to the prevalent notion that the theory of evolution is Darwin's, and Darwin's alone." (Harvard professor on Fly By Blog).
