Ready to pre-order in the UK for around £599 (for the 32GB handset, £499 for 16GB) for the “unlocked” handset directly from Apple UK, or for a range of prices around the £200 mark plus contract from either Vodafone, O2, Orange, 3 and T-Mobile, the 4th generation iPhone is bound to kick up a storm, as well as a stink. Things to bear in mind – the initial launch will NOT include the US white version of the handset and, perhaps all the more important for purchasers of the contract-free handset, you’re going to need a mini SIM card…, or a sharp pair of scissors and a VERY steady hand! read more

Ladies and Gents, tommorrow’s the day “millions” of you have been waiting for! Apple’s getting ready to release some info on its latest iPhone operating system, no doubt in light of the iPad hitting the US highstreets on the 27th March, (UK release date according to Apple’s iPad page in “late April”) the operating system is pipelined for release later this year. But as always, the Apple camp has kept things under wraps as long as possible (see no-frills email pic sent out in a circular on Monday). Rumour has it one of the key focusses of the release will be multitasking…very informative! Softwareload will of course be keeping an eye on further developments as and when received over the next few days.
