Apple iPhone Gossip 1

So many people are saying - Apple iPhone will have a or want a FM radio.

I say no way - Apple is always looking at things a different way and it my guess that they will introduce digital radio before anything to do with FM.  FM radios even with RDS are old tech and digital radio DAB and DAB+ is the way of the future.

FM radio won’t disappear entirely but where a iPhone 3G will work you can be sure DAB will also be there.

Sure most of the world hasn’t moved to DAB yet but it is inevitable.

Optus Apple iPhone Con

We’ve been conned.

I went to the optus store to purchase a iPhone on their pre-paid plan only to be told it would not be available for another 2 weeks.

False advertising.

So if you want a new iphone don’t bother.

Perhaps I was a little harsh but the whole situation is not exactly the best situation for Optus to be in. Essentially although Optus heavily promotes the iPhone available on Pre-paid plans the fact is that they don’t actually many available to buy. Yes - there are some but not many.

Everyone knows that sales get commissions for selling phone on plans and little if none for pre-paid. I think that will change very soon!

Clearly a marketing ploy but one that has back fired.
