So its official! in France iPhone fans will be buying via Orange. So, thats AT&T in the US, O2 in the UK, and T-Mobile in Germany, an odd strategy. France is the really interesting market for the iPhone because French customers have the right to have their phones unlocked from an operator by law. This was the first chink in the SPV armour back in 2002 when we could get device unlock via Orange France. I’m interested to see how the roaming works, will iPhone users roam only onto iPhone carriers when they enter their territories?

Apple announced ‘Leopard’ MacOS 10.5 ready to pounce on the public on 26th October. Somehow Apple have managed to accumulate 300 new features for leopard here http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html although I think a few are overblown as ‘new’ features rather more slight enhancements or fixes. ZFS didn’t make the cut either technically or as a ‘new’ feature, but is available as a developer read only FS for the moment.
Interestingly, after all the hullabaloo about Vista copying MacOS, Apple have chosen to copy Vista by using an Aurora style theme in their promo shots, see below. Now just waiting for Apple to post the final build so we can download it, hopefully before 26/10…
