Windows XP SP3 “coming next week”
16/04/2008 by swordfish.
The third and final service pack for Windows XP will be released on 21 April, according to leaked reports.
Neowin claims to have got hold of an internal Microsoft schedule that shows SP3 will be released to OEMs, MSDN and TechNet subscribers on Monday. Just over a week later on 29 April, the Service Pack will be made available on Microsoft Update, Windows Update and Download Centre.
Finally, the Pack will be issued through Microsoft’s Automatic Update service on 10 June. That’s just days before the company controversially plans to withdraw XP from sale across the world on 30 June.

O2 slashes 8GB iPhone to £169
16/04/2008 by swordfish.
UK mobile firms O2 and Carphone Warehouse are to cut the price of Apple’s iPhone by £100.
The 8GB iPhone will now cost £169, but the newer 16GB model will not receive a price cut.
O2 confirmed speculation that it would follow German carrier T-Mobile, which announced last week that it will drop the price for the 8GB iPhone to 99.
O2 has already reduced the cost of owning an iPhone by overhauling its tariff structure to allow users more voice minutes and text messages.
The news follows rumours of a possible 3G iPhone coming this summer. These cuts have added to speculation that suppliers are clearing out stock in anticipation of a new release.
