Countdown to the iPhone

Expect lots of iPhone inanity this week, in the run-up to Friday's UK launch. Just to round up the bits and pieces flying around so far:

1) O2 has hired an extra 1,400 customer services staff to cope with the expected demand for Apple's bundle of joy.

2) The firmware that will come on the UK iPhone at launch will not allow the device to be hacked or cracked. It may still however be smacked or whacked.

3) O2 seems to have seen sense regarding its miserly interpretation of the term "unlimited use of mobile data services" (200MB/month) in regard to the Jesusphone. Astonishingly, this may now actually mean unlimited use of mobile data services. Rejoice.
