Sky Mobile TV recently made splash as they have given users the option for integrating with the XBox 360 dashboard. Now, just like everything else, they are going to the iPhone.

This app is for free, but live streaming access to the full selection of Sky news and sports, including ESPN, will cost about $10 a month. However, O2 is offering a full quarter of a year’s worth of free access. It’s nice, really.

What do you know, Canadians, the Droid is ready to come your way soon. The phone will be known as the Milestone which seems to be the name Motorola has decided to stick with when it comes to the rest of the world. The Milestone has already been spotted in Germany and Brazil so it’s safe to say that only Verizon will sell it as the Droid in the USA.

Telus is said to bring the Milestone to Canadian customers early next year but there are no dates available at this point. There are no price tags either yet so we will all have to wait for the official press release before we get excited.

The Droid and the Droid Eris have been available for almost five days now and from the looks of it the phones are already bringing in some serious cash. The most popular of the both is definitely the Motorola Droid and you must surely agree that the Droid is an exceptional Android machine.

But neither of them is perfect. In fact there are quite a few issues that need to be fixed so both the Droid and the Droid Eris will receive an update in the near future. And it’s not customers complaining about the phones but it’s Verizon. The carrier has already found various things that need attention and it has leaked no less than twelve pages filled with complaints (five for the Droid and seven for the Droid Eris.) Everything will be sorted out by two firmware updates that are supposed to arrive in December and January. We don’t have any exact dates for you so in the mean time feel free to tell us what’s wrong with the Droid from your point of view.

The iPhone is not a new thing to UK customers as it has been around for a while now. But Orange has just started to offer Apple’s phone to its customers as O2 has lost its iPhone exclusivity.

The initial reports are saying that Orange has sold over 30,000 units which is not a bad number for the first day. It seems that the Orange iPhone is turning out to be such a success as Orange offers a wider coverage than its competition. Will the iPhone be a success if Verizon started selling it in the USA right now?

The good news for O2 iPhone owners is that their carrier will unlock the iPhone starting today. Simply go to a O2 store and see if you qualify for the procedure.

And last but not least, we will remind you that Vodafone is also going to sell the iPhone so you might want to wait before buying one from Orange or O2.
