It's nearly here!
Finally after much waiting and much speculation, We now have (some) pricing for the iPhone 4! In a press release issued this morning, Apple have confirmed that the phone will launch in New Zealand this Friday as planned, priced from $1099 for the 16GB version. The price of the 32GB model is not confirmed in the press release but I would imagine the Apple site will be updated with that price shortly. No pre-order facility has been announced.

Don't give up hope, maybe the store will come down in a couple of hours when Aus ticks over to midnight.

After reading this I came up with a way to get my new IPad. You see I wanted an IPad, but my wife said no. After a month of "just mentioning it" every now & then the answer was still no. Then I came up with the perfect way to make her say yes….
I went & bought my IPad, downloaded "Epicurious", took the IPad home & showed her. She loves it & has already emailed a truck load of recipes to her friends. My only problem now is I don't get to use it & have to leave it at home for her to play with….Can't have you cake & eat it I guess!
