The only thing wrong with an Iphone is, naturally, Itunes.

Its like being told you can have anything you want in the whole world beyond your wildest dreams, but in the small print it says "To qualify you must drink a pint of diarrhoea everyday for the rest of your life".

Blinding bit of journalism! I too was left looking for clean underwear after wiiing my pants from laughing so hard!

Ahhh.. these articles should come with LOLometer -a warning meter for us whom are pretending to be working in the office?

Yes boss, it's an IT news website... honestly!!

Gaz

Right now, what is the best phone in your opinion? Please add a comment ;-)

The one I most want to see is the coming soon HTC Touch Pro. What about you?

Azazello -- everyone knows it's called the Lphone.

Spelling and capitalisation are two different things. Misspelling Iphone would be "Ifown", whereas mis-capitalising would be something like "IpHOne".

But, in this case, it is neither, as the Inq has clearly pointed out. It is done intentionally to avoid buying into a company's marketing ploys, which, incedentally, was the point of the article anyway.

Try paying closer attention.

Wow, not sure what your problem with Reuters is, but your story is a bit out of context. The article you reference orginally appeared in Billboard magazine, which Reuters just picked up. A good portion of Reuters' stories are picked up from other publications, not written by Reuters staff. 

When placed in its original context of Billboard, the story comes off more as an info-graphic on the music applications available to the newly launched iPhone, and not so much of an ad as it may appear when running out of context in Reuters.

.. my boxers.

I laughed so much at the Inq having a go at someone elses journalistic integrity that I pi**ed myself.

Pot, kettle and black, i'm sure one of you in the Inq machine has the NVQ to work it out.

Sweet i can buy a phone which i already bought but now its fixed and it costs less! Sweet! Too bad the phones parts was dated when it came out and they didnt bother to upgrade anything in the phone.. not even that flashless 2mpxl cam. Thanks but no thanks apple i will buy me a nokia.

don't know how to spell iPhone: I suspect this is a regrettable disability that will launch you into a meteoric journalistic career.
cheers!

Euronews is following Reuters down the gutter.... at least in my native language!

They said that LG positive 2nd quarter result was mainly due to the stunning impact of Iphone in Europe......

Shall I say more?

Seen the UK TV advert for the 3G iPhone?

It starts off with a mysterious box being carried in with the voice over saying "At last, a phone to beat the iPhone"... And then they reveal the new 3G iPhone.

I'm really not quite sure how that stands with the ASA, surely that's insinuating that the original iPhone was an unbeaten triumph, as opposed to a a very dated bit of hardware with a flashy user interface.
