Tesco is to enter the increasingly crowded market for Apple’s iPhone next week when the grocer will launch a mini price war on the smartphone. The supermarket group, which secured the rights to the phone last month, will start selling the 3G and 3GS iPhone models on Monday, offering a annual contract for just £20 a month. Customers will have to pay £222 for the basic 3G 8GB handset however.

The deal undercuts rivals O2 and Orange, which offer a lowest rate of just over £29 a month. Tesco also requires customers to sign up only for one year, compared to two years at its rivals, though their contracts make no charge for the phone.

Miles Brignall at the Guardian has some very interesting views on this and I have reproduced his article below.

What he doesn’t mention is that you can also go and grab a free iPhone on PAYG or get the best iPhone deal  on contract with O2 or Orange (and very soon, Tesco Mobile or Vodafone too).

That aside, here is his great article….

2009 has been a bit of a roller coaster but when I sit back and reflect, it’s had more good than bad.  

The months to the end of November were “steady” but you’ve just got to love Christmas.  Traffic to Simplyfreeiphone has increased by 75% and Gadgets4nowt is up by just over 49%.

That has generated an average of 7 free gift referrals and 3 iPhone contract sale leads per day.   ”I Wish It Could Be Christmas, Everyeeeee Day”, as the song goes!!

Just spotted some breaking news on Computer Weekly, here is the article in original format.

Fans of both Spotify and the Mac were quick to put two and two together, and come up with six billion four hundred and three when Apple announced they’d acquired music site Lala.com on Friday.  Lala, an online hybrid of Spotify and last.fm functionality is an unusual acquisition for the iPhone deal makers.
