The 3 network made it available as an option on their website, around ten months on from the launch of the black iPhone 4.

However, a few hours after going up for sale, it disappeared from the site, possibly never to be seen again!

If it does ever become available, be sure to check out myfreeiphone.net for your free white iPhone. You never know, it may appear again!

Despite these allegations, Facebook has pointed out that contact information shared on the site can only be viewed by the user in question.

The company also notes that users are told about the implications of syncing their address book before they decide whether to do it.

Analysts polled by The Wall Street Journal said that iPhone 4 buyers were keeping new phones without returning them at the same rates they normally do. Multiple analysts told the WSJ they did not expect Apple to make a recall of the device despite the wide reporting of the problem.

The research asked 2,000 users about their favourite devices, with the iPhone coming out as the most popular device, with a 13 per cent share of the votes. The Nokia 3210 came second (on 8.5 per cent) and the Nokia 6310 third (on 8.4 per cent).

Nokia devices actually made a strong showing in the top ten, with a total of five devices compared to three from Motorola.

Recent releases such as the Palm Pre, Samsung Omnia and HTC Touch have tried to follow the success of the Apple device. It remains to be seen if the forthcoming iPad device will have the same impact on the burgeoning tablet market.

The corporation was planning to release free news and sports apps for the iPhone next month, but have put the idea on hold after concerns about unfair market advantage.

The BBC Trust heard concerns from newspapers that the app would unfairly influence the market for news apps. Newspapers are seeking to capitalise on the iPhone in order to make up for falling sales with U.S. papers like the Wall Street Journal and New York Times having announced agreements with Apple for special subscription packages.

The Trust will now review its plans and decide whether the apps would violate the BBC’s public service agreement.

Minor updates on the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone3GS are free of cost but a new major version can now add a price to their release. This limitation was previously used by the developers to give their upgraded version a new name. The users would have to pay the full price to upgrade because the changes made for the upgrade justify to its cost. One may encounter some dialog boxes while upgrade any application and that might just be an indication that Apple is working on something big here. Since the app store has been launched, both the user and the developer have asked for such a thing. The news is not yet confirmed but it looks like Apple is going to do something big like this in the near future.

One of these questions surrounds Apple’s iPad and Tethering

Apple’s iPad will be sold in two editions: a Wi-Fi-only edition, set to become available on April 3, and a 3G-enabled edition, set to go on sale later in the month complete with data plans from network providers. What is unknown was whether the Wi-Fi-based iPad would have the capability to tether to an iPhone, thereby letting you harness the data connection from your mobile plan to surf the Web.

The answer appears to be no.

According to Apple blog AppleInsider, a Swedish user named Jezper Söderlund says he sent an e-mail directly to Steve Jobs asking about the availability of tethering between the iPad and the iPhone and, the user reports, Jobs wrote back.

Here’s what Söderlund’s e-mail reportedly said:

“I’ll keep it short. I’m Jezper from Sweden, a long time Apple fan, currently about to replace the very last computer at home with a brand spanking new iMac i7. I’m also awaiting the release of the iPad. However, I have one question:

Will the Wi-Fi-only version somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?

Two devices, based on the same OS, with already built-in technology to share one data plan suggests a secondary contract could possibly be redundant.

From the look of your keynote, where the iPad sits well between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, I was hoping the three of them could interact as seamless as possible.

All the best,

Jezper Söderlund”

And Jobs’ response, as indicated by Söderlund:

“No.

Sent from my iPhone”
Apple and Tethering

Apple Tethering has long been an area of contention among even the most ardent Apple fanboys. After axing a third-party tethering app from the App Store in 2008, Apple and AT&T have remained decidedly vague about when the functionality could return to the much-adored phone.

If true, then, the lack of tethering support on the iPad shouldn’t come as a surprise. While Jobs didn’t go into great detail about the iPad’s other potential tethering possibilities, whether the 3G iPad would be able to tether its data connection to a laptop or desktop, for example — most of those scenarios seem like long shots coming from the dynamic duo of Apple and AT&T.

The minor upgrade includes an improvement to the iPhone 3GS’s accuracy of the battery level indicator and fixes issues with certain third-party applications refusing to launch. The new firmware also includes five security updates.

Firmware 3.1.3 is 228MB and is distributed to your iPhone, iPhone 3G or iPhone3GS via the regular iTunes update process.

Apple is expected to deliver a more significant update to the iPhone firmware to coincide with the launch of the iPad prior to the end of March.

The iPhone 3.2 software is likely include support for apps which are designed to dynamically adjust the screen size depending on whether the iPhone or iPad are being used.
