iPhone 4 Bumper Giveaway to Cost $175 million
To sort out the antenna problem with the iPhone 4, Apple is giving away free bumpers to all iPhone 4 owners. But as they don’t just appear out of thin air, Apple is going to set aside $175 million of iPhone 4 revenue in the September quarter, according to Apple’s CFO Peter Oppenheimer during the Q3 earnings conference call. But as in the same conference call they reveiled that they earned over $15 billion, shelling out $175 million for iPhone cases, won’t be too much of a catastrophe for Apple.
The $175 million might seem a huge amount for normal people like us, but compered the $1.5 billion Apple would have to pay for a full recall of the iPhone 4 as some industry analysts are predicting, giving away free cases is a much better option for Apple.
You Can No Longer Buy a Nexus One :(
A couple of days ago, Google announced that they had just received the last shipment of Nexus One’s. But today, Google has just sold out of Nexus One’s on it’s online store. The Nexus One was the official Google developer phone and was wildly known as one of the best handsets out there, even though it did not catch on outside of the geek community.
However, as we said a couple of days ago, the Nexus One will still be available through Vodafone in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and here in the UK with a contract of course. So you can get the Nexus One if you really want it from Vodafone, but you better hurry, as they will stop selling them when they run out of stock.
There is only one thing to say. Nexus One, we will miss you.

New giffgaff iPhone app
We may have mentioned giffgaff once or twice in the past and we quite like the way in which they operate, offering their customers, or members in their lingo, rewards for helping other members or for referring friends that then become members.
Today giffgaff launched a new iPhone app that allows you to look after your giffgaff account, refer your friends and to read and participate in their forums.
confidence has created an iPhone application called Mygiffgaff which is a beautiful execution of a very useful program that allows you to check your giffgaff balance as well as see which goodybags you have active and which one you have queued up.
Check it out!
