It's bigger than reported. I believe Standard and Chartered is part of the RBS group. If I'm right, RBS could be using this as a test bed for the whole group.

I cornered beast fights hardest. It seems to me that Nokia is scared of Apple's rapid progress into smartphones, and they don't have a suitable programme to counter Apple. They're playing for time to get their house in order. Otherwise (if you belie…

Videos won't play on my 8GB 3G. Other than that, great.

Interestingly, Psystar's site is currently listing Rebel EFI for the low, low price of $0.00! edit: Just re-checked, although the front page is listing it as $0, the product page is listing it as $50

There's no way Apple are getting into search. No one will pay for a subscription search, and I just don't see Apple doing adverts on it, for the same reason Apple have really done adverts with iTunes... they're not clean, they're uncontrolled, a bad…

It's a shame the external hardware doesn't support chip and pin. It rather limits its use in Europe.

Those UK figures really don't surprise me. The iPhone was the first phone I was aware of over here that gave you unlimited data. Before that you had to pay a fortune to go online through a mobile over here, and was really putting people off. I don't…

Can we stop saying that Google created the Maps app on the iPhone. I distinctly remember Jobs remarking that Google were really impressed when Apple showed them the Maps app which APPLE had made. This is why it's quite different from Google's versio…

I need buttons to initiate expose and pinch zoom for iPhoto before it becomes useful. I can't believe these were missed by Apple. N.B. I don't want full screen zoom, which the mouse already does (as does every other mouse with scroll function), I…

Anyone know how much work had to be put in to this developers application to take advantage of these technologies? I'm guessing it's not as simple as checking a couple of check boxes.

Here in the UK the government has already mandated the new phone publish the radiation levels. I'm not aware of purchasing being affected, certainly I don't know anyone that bothers to read the figures before buying. I'm afraid I'm sceptical by i…
