O2 NIBBLE ON THE APPLE AND FIND A FALLEN ANGEL ... WELCOME TO THE £900 IPOD

Today, after months of speculation, rumour, hot air and "no comments" from those involved (and otherwise), the iPhone was officially penned to reach these shores on November 9th with the cheapest model priced at a "bargain" 899GBP (including an 18-month contract from Spanish mobile operator O-No!). Whatever. I've already ordered my iPod Touch. It arrives on October 2nd, cost me about a quarter of that and has twice as much memory. Add a drop of Starbucks skinny-wet WiFi (no sprinkles), plus iTunes on the move, and I think I've just found mp3eden.

There are plenty of smart webwords out there about today's iPhone launch. Check these out..
