Hi Ian

I wrote about this recently - I spoke to someone on the iPlayer team, and found out where the Guardian and Register got their details (at a journalist's briefing). Full details here:

Re: The Tao of Mac - Apple Statement About Servicing iPhone

Matt Radford — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 05:29:11 -0000

IANAL, but I wonder how this fares under the EU's Consumer Guarantee Directive?

"If you purchase goods or services from another EU Member State and they were advertised in your country, you are protected under consumer law of your home country. "

(from http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/co...)

So if I bought an iPhone on a day trip to France I am protected if it goes wrong, as the same device is on sale in the UK.

However, it is fair not to expect Apple to provide a replacement if an unofficially unlocked iPhone is bricked during a service upgrade.

Are you sure about the no GPRS? I managed to use the store over GPRS - see the screenshot with this article:

I wouldn't bother with it again unless I was desperate though - it's slooooooooooooooooow.

Points 1, 2 and 7 - yes, yes and yes. Time to ditch the iPhone!

Re: Mr Operator: Palm Pre - destined for European failure

Matt Radford — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 06:41:07 -0000

I'm not sure the Pre is quite so DOA as Mr. Operator believes. One of the most successful phones last year was the INQ1. The Synergy feature of the Pre could be marketed as essentially "Facebook plus" - taking the idea of the INQ further, to encompass all your contacts. That would be a good sell - everything in one place.

He's right about the timeframe though - everything that's currently special about the Pre can be rolled into other platforms fairly rapidly, so they will need to quickly garner mainstream press and capture mindshare . Right now there's a lot of blogger buzz, but my Mum doesn't quiz me about it like she does the iPhone...

That's not just a problem with the G1 - fingernails are also the reason my wife won't buy an iPhone. She found texting impossible.

At least we know that Apple & Google's mobile domination will be curtailed at 49% of the global population ;)

It's a great game, lovely visuals. And there's more to come from Fire Mint as well.

Well if you're going to demonstrate surfing the web on your iPhone, you may as well do it on a cool site :)

Re: MIR: Whatley’s Apple iPhone dilemma continues unabaited

So,

3G - nope
MMS - nope
Decent camera - nope
Installable apps - (wait for it)

Leaving you with:

The highest-capacity music phone on the block (this week). 16Gb will be a tipping point for quite a few I would imagine... As I said on my last blog post, I'm looking forward to the next set of Canalys figures :)
