iPhone Review – Connection speeds on wifi, GPRS and EDGE

According to www.inetworktest.com the average speeds users of the site are getting are as follows:

Average WiFi 800 kbps
Average Edge 210 kbps
Average Speed 520 kbps

Bizarrely, in my own tests I’ve been getting average wifi of 450kbps and today average GPRS of 283kbps!! Something might be off there in the speed test methods but the square box (for GPRS) was showing on the iPhone, not the blocked E for Edge.

TV and Movies coming to iTunes in UK this month

Source: TV and movies coming to iTunes UK this month  - Not sure about the reliability of this report as these things generate web traffic and I wouldn’t put it past people to create desirable news rumours just to get flow to their sites.  But I do want it to be true, oh yes oh yes.   

Movies coming to iTunes in UK?

The following article – Apple updates iTunes, QuickTime – iPod/iTunes – Macworld UK suggests that with the introduction of UK film ratings to the newest update of iTunes, UK users could soon be able to purchase TV shows and movies from the iTunes UK store. This would make me very happy and probably less well off. We’ve looked longingly enough at the US (only for this feature in iTunes I might add).It is time for me to be able to buy vapid, addictive pseudo-intellectual mind candy like Lost when I choose and with a gentle tap of my little old trackpad.Amen, let it be so.
