iPhone in Europe

Not really. It hasn't 3G so that whole network is out. And in Sweden the only ones who have Edge coverage is Telia. Not to mention that public Wi-fi spots are virtually non-existent in Sweden. So surfing the net will be a tad difficult... What you'll end up with is a glorified and very expensive iPod...

Oh, I'm delighted that it apparently resets the iPhone to the factory settings... Morons!!

Apple is planning to release its next software update - which will allow users to purchase music from the iTunes store via a button on the iPhone - next week. The update also aims to make 'hacked' iPhones unusable.

Apple has said it wants to "continuously delight" users with new iPhone features.

Some owners are reporting on technology blogs and Apple's own forums that the update is deleting contacts information, as well as photos and music, on iPhones that have not been modified in any way.

I wouldn't touch the sack of sh*t if you paid me, let alone pay £899 to own one of the things...

True, **** in a brightly coloured package is still ****...

Well this is my precise objection. And then there is the hypocrisy of them with the accusations they have levelled at Microsoft in the past. And they sell to the majority of the sheep out there by being fashionable rather than on technical or value merits.

Good luck with that.

In the meantime, Danish design artists Bang&Olufsen have released their music mobile, Serenata:

They don't expect it to compete with the iPhone. They expect it to cater to up-market customers who value aesthetics and design over functionality and trends.

The price? Around $ 1,800

I'm waiting for a mobile phone with a built in taser.

$1800 for a bleeding mobile phone?!

I think that idea is pure genius - could've made you millions. If only you hadn't posted it on the internet

Exclusive contracts are anti-competitive, anti-consumer, unnecessarily expensive, non-innovative and should be avoided like the plague.

Eh, it's ok. Even if it had the potential to sell, I'm too damn lazy to do anything about it.

Here is a pic of the Serenata:
