The "réserver" button doesn't work! So is this for real? Looks like really it is – Orange may have decided to give us a really good Christmas gift. However don’t expect any concessions for the price – it should be around Rs 18-22k. The arrival of the iPhone 3G also suggests that iTunes Store Mauritius is now ready to be open (thanks to Akamai).

Btw Google Reader just got a new look – faster & more minimalist. Read the Google Blog for more. Now, I’m just waiting for the Better GReader add-on to get updated. :)

& it's gone!!!! :(

Edit: 18.12.2008 & it's back now.

On the eve of the launch of the iPhone, you can order your iPhone to be paid via direct debit.
Latest rumours suggest that the iPhone will be sold at Rs 13k with a 2-year contract + a monthly fee of Rs 1250 for 250MB Internet access, 10h communication & 200 SMS = Rs 43,000.
Apple Tax PWNS.
