I cycled down to the O2 shop in York this morning to see how many were
queuing outside. Here they are. The guy at the front came straight
here from his night out last night, the rest arrived from 5.30am
onwards.
I’m pretty sure the shop only has a dozen phones to sell when it opens
at 8:02 so those at the end of the line will be disappointed.
I went home for breakfast.
Call me a geek if you like, but I imported the route of my sponsored ride through the Yorkshire Dales, planned for next week, into Google Earth. So now I feel I’ve gained a whole new perspective on the roads I’ll be cycling to raise money for Riding Lights.
If you would like to fly with me click on the map below and then export it to a kml file. Double click the saved file and if you have Google Earth installed on your computer you see it traced out on the satellite image. Click play and start to fly. Watch the elevation read out under the map as you traverse the hills – just to gain some idea of where I’ll be feeling the pain. Click here to sponsor me
York station is free WiFi hotspot – Digital Lifestyle – Macworld UK
York railway station has been fitted-out with free WiFi for travellers, National Express East Coast announced today.
I love York station and now I have another excuse to go and watch the trains. “I needed to pick up my email, so I went for a coffee at the footbridge cafe.”
WWDC: O2 iPhone WiFi includes BT OpenZone, The Cloud – iPod/iPhone – Macworld UK
O2 has taken another step to widely improve its iPhone 3G offering in the UK, multiplying the available WiFi hotspots users can employ to get online.
Hidden in the small print on the O2 page, O2 confirms iPhone users will enjoy free use of WiFi hotspots from its existing partner, The Cloud, and also observes iPhone users will be able to use hotspots provided by BT OpenZone.
Even more free (or should I say bundled) WiFi with the O2 iPhone deal from July 11th.
Apple United Kingdom – Press Releases
O2 and Apple today announced that the innovative iPhone 3G will be available in the UK and Ireland on July 11th. iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software …….
I bought an iPhone last year much to the derision of my brother who said I should have waited for the 3G model. Well I might have been a bit hasty – but at least O2 is offering me the upgrade to the new phone for nothing and if I want 16Gb of storage I can have it for a relatively small payment. Roll on July 11th …. built in GPS – mmmm
