I went from Vodagroan, who promtly tried to tell me that the phone was a piece of poo, and constantly pointing out that the battery is non-user changable. I told them, neither is the iPods, but I've changed that myself. I had to hang up on the guy o…

Can someone please tell me if the iPhone can be set to spell in English (as opposed to US English). I.e. can the iPhone be set-up to spell colour rather than color, and realise insead of realize?

It's a union of countries, but because of our parliamentary system, it can itself be considered one country.

Yes, O2 do have their own retail stores, but in the UK Carphone Warehouse is widely regarded as the best place to buy a new mobile as they are very good at giving impartial advice. They are very big here, whereas private retail stores are not seen a…

According to MacUser.co.uk, O2 have also removed the "fair usage policy" for data ! I'm in the UK with a 3G phone, and would switch off 3G if I knew how. I just don't need it, and with free access to The Cloud, I'm thinking 3G is even less import…

Where'd all this GiB stuff come from, and HDD suddenly not storing info in binary. I'm slightly worried, final year masters student in electronic engineering, and have NEVER come across GiB! A HDD does not have 8,000,000,000 bytes. The reason we use…

Macuser.co.uk is reporting that some tracks on the UK store are already selling for 79p for iTunes Plus. This is the same price we pay for non iTunes Plus. It seems it's already happening this side of the Atlantic.

Forgot to mention that with the lack of a floppy disk, Apple quickly offered iTools for data transfer and back-up when using an iMac or iBook (or any other Mac for that matter).

For me, the new stacks is almost a step backwards. I use the dock in much the same way as I used the Apple menu in OS 9, placing a folder in the dock, holding down on the folder allows me to browse through all the sub folders without loading a windo…
