So Apple launched the iPhone 3G last night, and it quickly became clear that this launch was less about adding whizz-bang new features – 3G and GPS are really the only new additions – and more about selling (and this is a technical term) a shitload of iPhones. The price cut and the move to subsidised, traditional mobile phone revenue models (no revenue sharing, in other words, at least with AT&T that we know of) means that Apple's stated goal of 10 million iPhones sold in 2008 begins to look positively conservative.

Apple today announced that OS X 10. 5 (Leopard) would be released at 6pm on October 26th at Apple retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. Apple's online store is now taking pre-orders for the operating system. Steve Jobs is quoted in saying - The Apple website has also been updated with a new look, see here.

If you had purchased 1 share of Google stock the day of the initial public offering (IPO) you would have had a profit of more than $500 as of today (if you sold your shares). Now that is some increase! See here for more.

After 4 months, I though it was about time I gave an update on my experience so far of Sky HD. After purchasing a 'HD-Ready' panasonic LCD TV, I thought it was only fair to order HD to complement it. Installation was painless, partly due to there already being a digital dish hanging on the wall of our house, but the engineers arrived on time, and were quick at efficient at setting everything up. The HD box itself has an updated design to the old Sky+ box, with is black out casing, with silver highlighting along the front.

So September 18th came, and to the delight of all Apple followers in the UK, Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. Since its release in the US I for one have been waiting for the day I could get my hands one one (without having to hack the software to use other providers SIM cards). The presentation gave a lot of details about what would, and wouldn't be included in the UK iPhone. A price tag of £269 was revealed, which when compared to US price ($399), is considerably more than our Apple chums across the water have to pay, nearly 30% less infact.
