United Kingdom-based telecommunications company O2 has just fixed a glitch that allowed website owners to collect the phone numbers from people visiting their website on the O2 network. Lewis Peckover created a website with a script on it that showed the phone number of the visitor that came in from O2′s network. Since O2 fixed the problem now, I doubt it Lewis’ website will work any more. The Information Commissioner is currently investigating O2 over this issue.

In the United Kingdom, within 16 months about one million iPhones have been sold. This is quite a milestone for Apple, but it appears that Nokia had less trouble achieving this milestone with their N95 smartphone. The N95 reached one million sales in about 7 months after they introduced it to the market in November 2007.
“iPhone sales are continuing to accelerate.” stated Matthew Kay, CEO O2 UK. By the close of 2008, Apple had sold about 17.38 million iPhones around the world. By the end of this year an analyst claims that Apple would have sold 45 million iPhones.
