O2 revamps Sim-only tariffs for end-of-contract iPhone owners

They made it more expensive

The deal most people were getting was £20, 900 minutes + 1200 texts + unlimited data on a one month rolling contract.

That's gone up by 50% now. Sure it's 'unlimited texts' but who would honestly go above 1200 a month?

I'm not impressed by this and frankly that deal was all that was keeping me to o2. Their service in London is shocking, so many black spots where you get full 3G reception and nothing works.

Steve Jobs re-invents the portable telly

it could be used as a tv - but it should be so much more

It could be used as a tv just by going to this address

Which is already optimised for the iPhone. So it should work straight out the box (as long as you're on wifi - 3G sucks).

It's hard to think that three since the release of the iPhone this is all they could muster in a bigger format. Everyone knew it would look pretty, that's a given with Apple. But they didn't really innovate much here. Just stretched everything - seriously look at the apps, they're just stretched (yes of course until developers tweak the UI).
