O2 Worried About Newly Bought iPhones

The iPhone is available in a number of countries but since its international conquest following the 3G’s launch, only one carrier per country (or countries) had full exclusivity of the iPhone like AT&T does in the US. While competition amongst various carriers is a good things, it may be bad for British carrier O2, the first to carry the iPhone in the UK.
Up until last week, O2 was the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in England but Orange and Vodafone have stepped in to the arena and are offering iPhones to their customers starting November and sometime next year respectively. This new competition naturally would have any carrier worried but O2 faces losing up to 30,000 subscribers as they cancel their contracts within the allotted 2 weeks they have after buying their iPhone, a sort of test run on the network for customers. While it’s not expected O2 will lose that many subscribers, it seems possible that at least a few will jump ship to wait for the deals Orange and Vodafone will offer for the iPhone.

First waterproof hard drive

Drawing heavily from the world of 007, this waterproof hard drive was definitely much awaited. While Bond is always crashing cars, dodging bullets and saving the world, you never know when he’s ready at ladies’ service in the bathtub. SH93, as quoted by A-DATA, is the industry’s first waterproof and shock resistant portable hard drive. Carrying the US military’s MIL-810F standards for drop resistance and resistance, this hard drive can withstand 30 minutes under 3.3 feet of water. Comes with two built-in USB 2.0 cables along with a standard size connector and a mini USB link, the 2.5-inch drive is available in yellow or red and in 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities. There’s no info as to what the pricing will be like, but given the Bond qualities of the drive including the HDDtoGO software that lets the user work remotely from the drive without leaving any data behind on the host PC, this gadgetry might find its way to the next Bond movie.
