      I heard they were going to announce an app to allow IPhone users to use the compass and GPS to locate the nearest public phone box on a map.

      [Disclaimer, I got this from somewhere else, but can't find the link to credit.]

    I hope they hold it in the right spot. It's not going to get a very good reception otherwise.

    "The issue was that we had a 'signal bar' on the phone. We had forgotten that this was a magical device. The signal bar has now been replaced with a Mana bar. We expect the rest to work itself out."

      Yeah, first the iphone was left in a bar, and now the bars have left the iphone! That can only happen to magical devices.

    Slashdot, the Rumour Mill for Apple users.

    It used to be the news site for Linux, until it became apparent hardly anyone is interested in that any more.

  9. Six Foot Drop!? by TheNinjaroach · · Score: 4, Funny

    From what I've seen so far, the device cannot withstand a simple 6ft drop test onto a concrete floor.

    Six feet!? That's quite a drop!

    To be clear, we're not talking about throwing it onto the floor here, but if it slips out of your pockets and bounces on the floor then there is a (not unrealistic) expectation that it'll survive - especially when you've paid several hundred UK pounds on a phone and tied yourself into an 18 month contract.

    Oooh, you're British. Now everything makes sense, I just forgot to convert feet to.. wait, what?
