Tech Digest is liveblogging the Apple iPhone launch
Apple's iPhone finally goes on sale tonight in the US, and we're liveblogging all the way, with the latest news, queue reports, analysis and a few weak jokes.
iPhone Launch Live: Susi meets the Prizebook Queue Concierges
Professional gadget queue concierges? I didn't even know they existed. If they had, I might have taken different A-levels at school. Anyway, two chaps at the Apple Store in New York have been handing out t-shirts and catering to every whim of the people queuing for an iPhone (well, every whim apart from the one involving sneaking them out an early handset).
iPhone Launch Live: Susi meets The Guy At The Front Of The Queue
It's only just gone midday in New York, but the Apple Store there is already buzzing with media and excited Apple-heads. Shiny's Susi Weaser is there too, and she's met Greg, the guy at the front of the queue who's been there since Monday.
ZOMG!!!1!eleven!!1! GeekSugar have an iPhone!
As you and everyone within a trillion-kazillion mile radius of just about every atom on earth knows all too well by now, today is The Day The iPhone Springs Forth From Jobs’s Loins. Yep, time to hide under your duvet and avoid all the white-glazed eyes of this new breed of iZombies…
How likely is a Monday announcement of a European iPhone 3G?
Andy Merrett writes…
Now that the deal with the first US version of the iPhone is virtually tied up, the rumourmongers have turned their attentions squarely to Europe.
Yes, I’ll come out straight away and call it a rumour, because I’m not convinced that Monday will see an announcement from Apple about the European iPhone.
If I’m proved wrong next week, so be it.
Guy Kewney at Newswireless.net has published a story claiming that Apple has struck a rather complicated deal between Vodafone, T-Mobile, and the Carphone Warehouse.
Opinion: Why I DON'T want an iPhone
Jonathan Weinberg writes…
So, Apple’s “must-have” mobile phone has now finally launched. Well, I say launch. That’s obviously true if you’re reading this from America, but for the rest of us it’s tough luck. After all, it’s not as if anyone in Britain has ever put their hard-earned cash into Steve Jobs’ coffers.
Apple's green pledges move them up the Greenpeace ranks… slightly
For the first time, Apple aren’t rock bottom in Greenpeace’s quarterly Guide to Greener Electronics.
Thanks to the “Greener Apple” pledge to phase out PVC and other chemicals from their product line, Greenpeace moves them up to 10th place, now tied with HP and above Sony, LG, and Panasonic.
Vodafone in pole position for European iPhone exclusive
I’ll be honest, I’ll probably be able to rewrite this story several times in the next few weeks, except with a different operator in the headline. Nobody knows who’ll bag the exclusive rights to sell iPhone in Europe yet, so speculation is all we’ve got to hang onto.
2007 Tech Trends No. 5: Touchscreens
Fourth in a series of posts highlighting Tech Digest’s pick of big technology trends for the second half of 2007…
It may have escaped your notice, but there’s a new mobile handset called the iPhone coming out this Friday. I know, you’d think someone would have publicised it. One of the most intriguing elements of Apple’s handset is its tactile touch-screen interface, which goes further than merely dabbing at buttons with a stylus, and gets you using your fingers to swipe, slide and explore.
The iPhone features you'll actually use: texting, clock…
So yes, iPhone’s got loads of great features, but will you actually use any of them?
