"8GB will be sold for £269", "not going on sale until November 9th" - meh. I'm still getting an iPod Touch.

"Q: 7,000 hotspots in the UK... but are they free?
Matthew: "Cloud is the WiFi provider, and yes, it's free." Steve goes on to again tout the advantages of WiFi. Matthew nodding head vigorously, "It's a lot faster."" - So as an O2 customer can I use this with my iPod touch? Looking at TheCloud's price plans (if you can't get it free courtesy of O2 and Apple) are ludicrous. Why the extra cost for paying by SMS and why a different price per month for one device compared with unlimited WIFI devices? Seems like the WIFI supplying game is the place to be.

I might have to have a chat in my local O2 store...
