iPhone News: ASA TV ad ban, Apple increasing production, iPhone “most powerful dev platform”, 2.0.2 security risk
UK iPhone Internet access TV ad banned
The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority has ordered that Apple not show the current iPhone TV ad which claims the handset gives access to “all parts of the Internet”. A whole two people complained that the iPhone’s inability to render Java and Flash in web sites meant that it didn’t give access to the full Internet. Apple’s defence, that the Safari browser could display all open-source content whereas Java and Flash were proprietary technologies, was not enough to convince the ASA to back down. Java World seems not to agree with ASA’s position.
Apple increasing iPhone production
According to a report in Business Week, Apple is to increase production of the iPhone, with the aim of assembling between 40 and 45m handsets in the coming 12 months. If true, this is most likely due to huge popularity of the iPhone 3G in both existing and new markets. Reports suggest that the iPhone 3G has already outsold the first-generation iPhone, with almost six million handsets now sold.
