Every Virgin Media (soon to be AppleVision) will get a special version of the Iphone II which has VOIP as well as GSM/UMTS (3g) capabilities. Users will be able to seamlessly switch between a VOIP call over WIFI to the GSM/3g network.

    What? Too OUtregous. Just cos I dont work for the times its not going to be taken seriously? Its just as silly as most of the other rumours.

    Right- like theyve stopped buying updated iPods, Macs or on a more general tack, automobiles.
