Orange subscribers – will you be getting an iPhone?
So what does this mean for Orange subscribers ? At present we have no details on when the phone is coming or how much Orange users will pay for it.
Orange gets the iPhone – official
There has been a great deal of speculation in previous months that the network was going to get the iPhone. It already offers the Apple handset in 28 countries. It will go on sale very soon
This week's top five tech movers – Giffgaff, Voda and a surprise at #1
Well we have a surprise at number one and a very interesting start up doing well. And see if you can guess which mobile phone network is this week's biggest loser?
0870 – an iPhone app that can actually save you money
Its basic premise is that it makes it cheaper for iPhone users to dial premium numbers such 0870, 0845 and 0800. These would normally cost the user 35p per minute, but using the app the numbers are converted from 08 numbers to 01 and 02 numbers which then come out of your monthly call allowance and subsequently are much cheaper.
New iMacs on their way in October?

AQA's sex survey reveals just how legless its users really are
I must admit I can’t think of a single reason why you would use a texting service like AQA 63336 – unless that is you are really, really shit-faced and fancy a giggle at the answer they come up with (though I think there are cheaper ways of having fun personally).
So to find out that people are texting in asking if eating a polo mint prevents you from getting pregnant or if eating a banana helps you maintain an erection doesn’t really surprise me. Apparently, according to the press release, AQA 63336 (no, I have no idea what the numbers stand for either, though I’m sure it’s significant), ‘researchers’ have found that half of the sex-related queries it receives come between 9pm and 2am. No shit, Sherlock. Honestly I would be worried for the state of the nation if they were during the 9am and 2pm unless the survey was carried out among students, that is.
Even more revelationary is that the with the most popular time to ask
questions about sex is 12.37am. And that 60% of these sex texts to AQA
63336 come from men – wow you don’t say. So you see, as I said pissed blokes.
Opinion: Why the iPhone might just be killing O2's reputation
