GREAT TOUCH-SCREEN
Apple iPhone 16GB
apple.com/uk
Apple hasn’t worked out a way of getting
its revolutionary handset to make the
perfect cup of tea just yet, but it seems
to have cracked everything else. Now
boasting a colossal 16GB, the iPhone
continues to make everyday, normal
folk ponder how they ever survived
without an hourly stocks-and-shares
update. Then there’s the touch-screen
technology – perfect for navigating the
internet and large enough to view videos
downloaded from iTunes, the user
interface (as knowledgeable folk call it)
has set the industry standard. And
rumours continue on the new 3G version
being available for summer… A word of
warning, though: setting the date and time
on the finger-sensitive spinning dial is so
addictive, you’ll be late for everything.

Everyone knows somebody who owns
a BlackBerry – fact. Until now the
‘professional mobile solution’ has proved
almost the only way to stay in touch
with the office, its email and internet
access working across every system your
computer might be packing, from Outlook
Express to Entourage. But this new
GPS-enabled handset should also ensure
you never have to send the frantic “can’t
find the office, might be late” email
ever again. Its inners also contain a
two-megapixel camera and an in-built
MP3 player – should you fancy listening to
music, or learning gSpanish, p
