That's like a lottery win. How did that take so long to emerge. Anyhow, they'll get a few quid no doubt and a lot more than they ever made from that iPhone.

Could be interesting in that case, if money grabbing is your bag.

It would need a lot more hurt than that to do any damage to the share price.

Does make me chuckle that the constant threads in here and general chit chat in the office from droid owners who always seem to be on the lookout for something to one up their device over an iphone like they have something to prove. Whilst the vast majority of iphone users (Jack excluded) just crack on and enjoy their phone.

That's very true. On here it keeps me amused, in real life it's pretty boring, especially as 99% of the time those same Android users told me I wouldn't need what they're lauding now when it was on the iPhone, it keeps repeating. Size is my favourite right now, some phones are out of hand and the people using them are the one's who cracked out Dom Joly jokes when the iPhone was released.

I worked for a housing developer 5 years ago that came up with prefabricated units for apartments, they called them iPads...
