In the very best spirit of industry collaboration, the good people at Telecom Wholesale have developed a work-around for the problems of the iPhone launch. It goes like this:

  1. Take a phone and an ipod

  2. Strap the phone to the ipod

  3. There is no step 3

  It's that simple. wphone binding apps include duct tape, or a TUANZ lanyard, as they've used here.

TUANZ is proud to be part of promulgating this world-leading, solution that illustrates Kiwi ingenuity at its best.

    Couldn't the ipod sit in a bad and be on a wireless connection and not tape? Tapes so 70'z

    Diabolically genius! Larger capacity, music will never stop unless you want it to, dual screen, dual opperating systems... the list goes on. The guys at Apple will be smacking their heads wondering why they never thought of it.

    Shouldn't it be red tape?

    These photos are being used out of context. They have been lifted from the "Whats happening in R&D?" column from "Get what You're Given", a Telecom internal publication circa 18 months ago (when Nokia announced it was ditching CDMA support) Budget at the time stretched to a gen1 IPod and TUANZ lanyard. Oh what Clever Toys!!

    Since the launch of the iPad last year, various tablets have been released on the market which are more powerful than the original. But Apple was not going to sit back and watch the competition succeed. They have announced the ipad 2 the new improved version of the revolutionary iPad. I think the ipad 2 is difficult to get from apple. i just find a wholesale ipad 2 website http://www.elecselling.com today.My friend have bought 5 units ipad 2 from them. the price is acceptable and the quality is excellent! Can’t wait to get one now!
