Rivals develop iPhone 'killers' as Apple plans UK launch

IT HAS not yet been released in the UK but jealous rivals are already ganging up in a determined - and almost certainly forlorn - attempt to kill it off.

Apple's iPhone, with its seductive mix of drop-dead gorgeous looks and irresistible features, is expected to become the must-have gift this Christmas for well-heeled lovers of fashionable gadgetry.

But Apple's competitors are not standing still. Rivals are frantically working on iPhone 'killers' that will attempt to offer unbeatable combinations of style, features and price.

Ultimately, the launch of the iPhone and the subsequent battle for control of the mobile market promises to be good news for consumers.

The iPhone will be released in the UK on November 9, for £269, plus a £35 a month contract for 18 months, exclusively on the O2 network.

When the phone was released in the US earlier this year, sales took off to the extent the device was dubbed the 'Jesus Phone'. So far, a million have been sold. Some UK gadget seekers have decided they cannot wait and one impatient buyer last week paid £600 to buy an iPhone on eBay.
