NIMUG

and we embrace 2008.

Have fun tonight celebrating Old Years Night and tomorrow.

As reported on cimota (and duped on infurious:

Check your iPhone bill for hidden extras.

During signup we were told that we’d get to choose insurance during the activation of our iPhones at the o2 store in Castlecourt. Turns out this was a lie designed to fool us into signing up for insurance though we explicitly said we didn’t want it.

Carphone Warehouse recently got fined for mis-selling insurance for phones. Looks like o2 need to take stock at their own stores.

See the bit under “monthly extras” and make sure you signed up for them!

Sorry folks but the time is running out so we’ll have a meeting in the new year!

Merry Xmas all.

From iLounge:
iPhone browser share overtakes Windows Mobile

According to the latest browser marketshare report from Net Applications, the iPhone and iPod touch have attained a .1 percent share of browser usage, besting Microsoft’s Windows CE platform, which has a .06 percent share of the market. Microsoft has been selling Windows CE devices since 1996, and according to Gartner shipped more than three million of the devices in Q1 2007.

This means that despite there being millions and millions more Windows Mobile devices (and Internet Explorer for mobile devices being introduced in November 1996), people just aren’t using them for the web???? Having used a Windows CE 2 device back in the day, I could see why.

According to Computerworld, if the iPhone maintains this rate of growth, it could be the third largest computing platform “by the end of next year.”

Whoah!
