The news is full of talk about the iPhone 4 and it’s poor reception. Apple finally bowed to consumer pressure and are offering a free iPhone 4 “band-aid” to solve the issue.

However, let’s not forget that before you need the fix, you have to shell out an arm and a leg to get the iPhone 4 itself. Like apple, Simplyfreeiphone is offering a free solution…a free iPhone 4. Go grab yours now!

Turning back to the free iPhone 4 band fix, it is clear that Apple’s squeaky clean image has taken a bit of a hit and its shares are down 7 percent since the end of June 2010. They current stand at $245.58 on NASDAQ.

“We believe Apple accomplished its objective of addressing the iPhone 4 antenna issues to its customers and, more importantly, relieving the excitement levels and tension with the press,” BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman wrote in a research report.

“While we expect the debate to continue, we believe the company’s response should begin to lower the rampant criticism emanating from the media-driven frenzy,” J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz said in a note to clients.

We don’t imagine a recall will be needed but a permanent fix surely has to come with future models.

Rest assured that whatever they bring out, we will make sure you can get a free iPhone. Watch this space!

Apple are congratulating themselves on what they are calling their most successful launch and claim they could have sold more iPhone 4 deals had stock been available. 1.7 million in a matter of days is nothing short of a miracle given the state of the economy but it just goes to show the power of Steve Job’s marketing machine. Even the 3G and 3GS only sold 1 million in the days after release.

Perhaps, given those volumes, the teething problems that some users have experienced were inevitable. Were similar problems encountered with the 3G or 3Gs or even the iPad though? Not that we can recall, so is the iPhone 4 release really a total success if you move away from the numbers? On balance, the answer has to be yes, the iPhone 4 is one heck of a bit of kit.

iPhone 4 deals are currently available ?n th? United Kingdom on Vodafone (Vodafone iPhone), Orange (Orange iPhone) & O2 (O2 iPhone). We’ve previously questioned why T-Mobile and 3 network haven’t stepped up to the plate but will let you know as soon as they announce their iPhone deals.

As ever, we should also remind you that the best iPhone 4 deal is right here in front of you. Why not grab a free iPhone 4, sim free, no contract. Simples!

Skype has finally added 3G calls to its free iPhone app, although the service will only be free to iPhone users for a short while, with plans to charge users from August.

Skype 2.0 is now available for download or update over on the iTunes App Store. So you can now make Skype calls on the go, wherever you are. (Well, providing you have a solid 3G signal, of course!)

But Skype needs to make some money, just like the rest of us, so the free 3G calls will only be trialled through till August.

TechRadar has contacted Skype in the UK to find out more about the plans for launching this new service in August and also to ascertain exactly how much the “small monthly fee” is going to be for Skype-to-Skype calls after August.

What’s new in Skype 2.0? Still. For now, it’s free. So fill your boots! What’s new in the latest version?

This is:

- Call using your 3G connection. Skype-to-Skype calls on 3G are free until at least end of August 2010, after which there will be a small monthly fee (operator charges for data will still apply).
- Near CD-quality sound for Skype-to-Skype calls using wideband audio (SILK codec) on iPhone 3GS and 2nd generation free iPod touch.
- Enhanced call quality indicator.
- Improved start-up time.
- Fast access to the dial pad from free iPhone home screen.

The 8th April was another huge day for Apple. Not only did they let us into the secret iPhone OS 4.00 broom cupboard, we also get an idea about the iPhone 4.0 SDK and APIs.  Most of the best bits will have to wait for the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD, whatever it’s going to be called.

Rumours suggest that Apple have finally done so more with the iPhone camera and plan to include a free iPhone LED flash. We’ve also heard that video conferencing is going to be improved to make the most of the 4th gen network capabilities.

A front facing camera will be needed of course!

Just to follow-up my thread on eXceem earlier this evening, another huge thanks to the team at FreebieJeebies for the bank transfer of £4,097 that has just arrived in my account.

That amazing haul represents 241 referrals who completed referrals via my free iPhone site/page.  I decided to take that in cash at £17 per referral rather than have a whole bunch of free iPhones to try and sell on eBay!

I’d been averaging 10 referrals a day and lost a few revokes when LOVEFiLM finally issued its report and a few more went on verification due to duplicate accounts unfortunately.

Onwards and upwards though, I still have well over 200 referrals still to cash in!

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!!
