Apple.

Put this one into the rumor mill, because as of right now, it’s nothing more than information garnered from unknown sources but it is quite interesting nonetheless.

It appears that Apple and AT&T could possibly be releasing an 8GB version of the iPhone 3GS for $99 at some point right before Christmas to compete with the Droid phones that are set to be released tomorrow.

Oh, they were officially announced today too, as if you didn't know already. Droid has been everywhere.

Anyway, the HTC Droid Eris, which is being released on Verizon, will cost a measly $99 after a $100 rebate and from the looks of things; it appears set for a great debut.

So, take this with a grain of salt, because it's just a rumor, but maybe Apple is getting scared that Droid might actually have a decent shot at cutting into their sales. They also know that dropping a 3GS model to this price would probably make a killing. So we’ll see what happens in the next month or two with that as all eyes are on tomorrow’s big release day.

It should be good.
