iPhone available in the UK – Nov 9
If you’ve not heard about it already, the new iPhone from Apple will be available in the UK from Nov 9.
With the iPhone, you make a call by simply tapping on a name or number in your address book, using only your fingers on the currently unique multi-touch display.
The embedded technology also incorporates an accelerometer device which is used to determine when you rotate the iPhone from a portrait to landscape orientation so that the display changes automatically.
Other technology includes a proximity sensor which switches off the display when you move the phone towards your ear – this also prevents accidental touches on the screen. An ambient light sensor is used to automatically adjust the brightness of the display to tha appropriate level.

The phone, at a price of £269 ($536) for the 8Gb version, will be available in the UK using mobile operator O2.
O2 contracts will range from £35-£55 per month which will include unlimited use of a wi-fi network from more than 7500 hot spots. Thus, for an 18 month contract, this will cost a minimum of £900 (including the cost of the phone and local taxes).
