I am that <closes thumb an forefinger to indicate atomic size> interested in apple products because I think they dictate how a user can use their product far too much and marrying the iphone to a single network is typical of this arrogance (yes I know it's been hacked open so hopefully the hacks will become more accessible so that everyone can benefit except the poor network) Basically I see apple as the opposite of what this list is about: "use our stuff to build your stuff". The very idea. Jobs would hate that you thought apple product could be improved. Am I wrong?

I was first with Vodafone years ago when I had my first (pay as you go, aww!) phone - their coverage was great but expensive. Hasn't changed much from what I can tell. O2's network just couldn't handle the amount of usage, especially data-wise - Vodafone's far better geared towards an influx of regular data-and-voice users, and they have a better market presence imo. Could be interesting to see if they can improve on their flatrate data offering off the back of an eventual iPhone package... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Forrester > Sent: 13 September 2007 13:46 > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > Cc: Internal-Backstage-Discuss > Subject: [backstage] Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 13:46:04 +0100 > > http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/155905316/-299418.php > > Apple UK is holding a press event next Tuesday at their > Regent St. headquarters.
