iPhone UK launch: O2 and Apple online stores both down

Ooh, it’s getting exciting now: O2’s online store isn’t working, with a message saying simply: “We’re sorry you’re unable to access the Online Shop at the moment. We are currently making improvements to the site to provide customers with an even better shopping experience.”

Make of that what you will. Meanwhile, the UK Apple Store is also down, with a message saying “We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly.”
