3G iPhone for Europe to be announced Monday?
Oh man, here we go. Another rumor about that 3G European iPhone. This time, the source is Guy Kewney of Newswireless who, until recently, doubled as eWeek.com's European wireless editor -- i.e., he's the real deal. As the story goes, Apple is set to announce a four-way deal: Vodafone and T-Mobile on the carrier front with Carphone Warehouse out in front as the MVNO. Hmmm, well, this kind of deal would certainly provide Apple's upstart mobile phone with far broader coverage than a Vodafone exclusive could muster while providing a solid brick-and-mortar base on a continent (mostly) void of Apple stores. Best of all for Europeans, the announcement expected on Monday will be 3G. That's right, while you're queuing up for EDGE data, Europeans might be unwrapping an HSDPA iPhone in a 4-way press release. Here's the rub, bub: do you really think Apple will provide Europe a 3G iPhone before the end of the year and not release it in the US at the same time? Now the tough choice: stand in line for your 2.5G iPhone or wait and see what happens on Monday with this rumor (and we repeat, it's just rumor at this point). Decisions, decisions. [Via Pocket-lint]
Everyone has an opinion about Apple v. Apple
Guy Kewney is something of an expert on technology, the man pictured to the right is a cab driver. Which would you expect to see on the BBC talking about the recent Apple v. Apple verdict?Well, the BBC was hoping for Guy Kewney, but due to a mix up they got the cab driver who tried his best to answer the questions (you can watch it here, his face is priceless). You can read Guy's take at his blog.I'm just waiting for the day when the BBC mistakenly asks me for my opinion about anything.Thanks, Will Gore.UPDATE: Andy points us to Guy Kewney's blog, which tells us that this guy (also named Guy) isn't a cabbie, but rather an IT worker who was at the BBC for a job interview.
