Wednesday, mate… Wednesday

I popped into the Carphone Warehouse this weekend — Sunday afternoon, to be exact — to check on the status of their iPhone stock. They were completely sold out. The chap couldn’t tell me how many they’d sold as he wasn’t working that day and I’m left wondering whether it was 5 or 500. Either [...]

Apple iPhone sells out again after O2 price cut
