So, the iPhone is coming to Orange…
Yesterday I was a guest on William Wright’s tech slot on BBC Radio Lincs and we talked about the big news of Orange getting the iPhone as well as O2. Have a listen below:

And now Vodafone! So yesterday Orange, and today Vodafone – finally, choice! The Guardian has a good post on it here, and says:
But under its new deal Vodafone will not have to pass any ongoing revenues over to Apple. Neither will Orange under the deal it has signed. As a result, both companies will have far greater pricing flexibility which should lead to reduced prices for customers, though they will still have to sign up to a long-term contract.
That sounds fine to me 
The BBC cover the news here, and remind us about O2 having new exclusivity for Palm’s Pre, apparently an “iPhone killer”.
That to me just does not ring true. Why? How about this for starters: (from a press release from Apple yesterday)
CUPERTINO, California—September 28, 2009—Apple® today announced that more than two billion apps have been downloaded from its revolutionary App Store, the largest applications store in the world. There are now more than 85,000 apps available to the more than 50 million iPhone™ and iPod touch® customers worldwide and over 125,000 developers in Apple’s iPhone Developer Program.
Pretty impressive eh?
