Motorola Milestone coming to XT July 1… what about iPhone 4?
Telecom have just announced that they are to get the new Motorola Milestone, which runs Android 2.1 and will be available form July 1st for a RRP of $999.
This is an “exclusive” deal with Telecom, but the question on my mind now (and the reason for this post) is, does it signal the end of any glimmer of hope we may have had that Telecom will become an official iPhone carrier?
What do you think? Is this a sign of things to come or is it just another handset in the Telecom line up that will sit next to the iPhone?
I think it probably will, I hope not, but I think it will. I could be wrong but with all things taken into consideration you would have thought that Telecom and Apple would have come to some kind of agreement by now if they were going to.

The app I have gone out on a limb with and have chosen to recommend and review is World Cup Schedule. How on earth did I pick this one over the others? read on to find out.

As you may or may not know, up to and including iPhone firmware 3.1.3 there has been a keyboard shortcut for adding .org, .edu and .net by pressing and holding the .com button.
