But doesn't Apple risk offending its most devoted customers(all of whom have iPhone 3Gs) by doing this? The biggest iPhone fans are people who already have iPhones, by definition. I take your point.

O2 don't actually make any money from the Apps Store - that 30% cut goes straight to Apple. In fact, they probably loose money with each application sold, as they have to deliver the extra data traffic within the current monthly plan.<br /><br />I think they are going to have problems shifting the new version, even with the allure of a shiny new compass :) Hey Max – good first post.
