Euro iPhone Rumours continue: O2 poised for UK launch?

With the US iPhone launch safely out of the way, attention turns to a European launch, and it’s as rumour-filled as anything the Americans could cook up.

On Tuesday, we reported that German company Deutsche Telekom were poised to clinch an exclusive iPhone deal, at least for German customers. In previous months, both Vodafone and T-Mobile were said to be favourites for winning the iPhone.

O2 were supposedly nowhere to be seen.

Yet a report in yesterday’s Financial Times suggests otherwise.

iPhone microscope mod: just add loupe

As we know by now, the iPhone is the Chuck Norris of mobiles. But those geniuses over at MAKE have come up with a feature that I’m willing to bet Steve Jobs never thought of: microscope.
Explains member Curiouslee: “The iPhone camera lens is flush with the back of the perfectly flat back of the device making it easy to hold a pocket magnifier loupe in front to convert the camera into a microscope.” Can it also be combined with a telescope for voyeuristic-lawsuitilarity? Only time will tell. [GT]
