iPhone

Filed under: General News, Science and Technology — Longrider @ 14:20 pm

There’s an awful lot of hype going on at the moment about Apple’s new baby; the iPhone.

Apple’s much-hyped iPhone has finally gone on sale in the US.

Some people had been queuing for days outside Apple and AT&T stores across the US to ensure they got hold of one of the devices.

Hundreds more began queuing during Friday because stores did not start selling the iPhone until 1800 local time (2300 BST).

Why? Okay, so it’s a nice bit of kit but it will be in the shops tomorrow and the day after that. And a few days after that, it will be obsolete when the next shiny gizmo hits the stores.

The biggest downside that I can see (apart from having more functions that I am ever likely to need) is that it is locked to one carrier. In the UK, it looks like that will be Vodafone. I do not buy handsets that are locked. Ever.
