WWDC: O2 iPhone WiFi includes BT OpenZone, The Cloud – iPod/iPhone – Macworld UK
O2 logo

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
iPhone images

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

Just as dieting makes you fat, time management courses make you inefficient.

An insight from Lucy Kellaway – a columnist in The FT – I have been known to take issue with her in the past. But this time I think she may be on to something – maybe.

The Grand Tour 2008: National Gallery paintings hit the streets of York

5 June 2008
Detail from The Ambassadors
Life-size reproductions of paintings from the National Gallery have been unveiled in York today for the latest stage of the Grand Tour. For the next 17 weeks, 45 reproductions of some of the Gallery’s most major works are hanging in unexpected and unusual places around the city.

These images are stunning – and they take you completely by surprise. This skull is in the painting of The Ambassadors hanging on High Petergate in the shadow of Bootham Bar.

You have to come to York to see them, they are amazing.
