It’s a slow news day today, but here are a couple short news blurbs. One is fairly important (but everyone else beat us to the punch in reporting it). The other is just amusing.

iPhone coming to Germany November 9

Following up their announcement of the iPhone’s availability in the UK, Apple today announced that the iPhone will make its German debut on November 9 on the T-Mobile network. The iPhone runs for €399 (including VAT), and includes a 2-year tariff with T-Mobile (I’m assuming “Tariff” is the term they use for “contract” there). More information is available in Apple’s press release, as well as http://www.apple.com/de/iphone/ (German).

Hello Kitty laptop!

Aw, how cute! One blog posted photos of oh-so-adorable Hello Kitty-themed laptops released by Epson. What does this have to do with anything? Nothing really, but I was briefly amused.
