No question as to the gadget that got the most attention. Stand up and take a bow – the iPhone.

14U News have a fairly spectacular photo spread of their iPhone girl wearing very few clothes and playing with an iPhone. Although I do wish they wouldn’t overexpose (sic) her like that.

Here is a sample and the full spread can be seen here.

Apple have, of course, come in for a lot of flak for being just plain greedy this year and in Europe, at least it is now illegal to sell an iPhone that cannot be unlocked, but the suppliers are charging accordingly.

All in all a good year for Apple’s iPhone, but you could be forgiven for thinking that’s all they sell if you take a trip to their website lately and it’s almost unforgivable how badly prepared they were with the Leopard release, with some people still reporting problems.

If they’re not careful, they will start losing the mainstay of their business – people like me. In fact, I am considering a linux based machine next time. So wake up and spend the money Mr. Jobs – hire some more developers.
